It is my own doing…I have neglected to keep my Backwoods Cottage account up to date and now that it is tax time I have to catch up and get all the entries done for the IRS. A few weeks ago it was for the Corporation accounts, that was a dilly too.
I would much rather enjoy being outdoors, walking among the flowers planted in abundance at Ironstone Winery.

They have tulips in every color..

This little show is just a smattering of what you can see walking among the grounds.
I am awaiting the lilacs to begin, there is a trail to walk between a row of numerous varieties, and it is heaven to walk thru and just breathe!
I will, of course, take my camera. I am too tired to do this justice but I just wanted to pipe in here. Tomorrow we go to the valley and enjoy the near 80 degree temps, it will feel like summer to me, though it was nice today in the mid-60’s here, melting the snow at a record pace.
Until we meet again..
