Slowly but surely

It was so warm out today that I decided to clean off the deck, ridding it of the detritus and debris of winter - along with the remnants of last summer that I should have removed from the planters in the fall.

As I was busy cleaning and preparing the pots for spring planting, it dawned on me that even though it's warm out today, it'll still be at least two months before it'll be safe to put anything in those pots. Two months.

Stupid Canadian frost.

So, in the absence of real flowers (and to celebrate the ones I sowed under our plant light in the basement today), a yarny sunflower.
