Waiting for Spring

We are eagerly anticipating the arrival of spring. We have both been feeling kind of down lately so hopefully the arrival of a brighter season can lift our spirits. Back in the fall we attempted for the first time to plant flowers. We chose tulips (Jessica's favorite) and daffodils that would bloom in the spring. The only problem is that neither of us have a clue when it comes to gardening. We posted some pics of our hopeful little flowers. If any of you have any suggestions let us know. This is kind of a grown up endeavor to actually make something grow so we'll see how it goes. Our main concern is that Leo, as cute as he is, is not so bright sometimes and he has laid on our bush that we planted, all winter and has pretty much demolished it (see picture below). We just hope that he can manage to not eat or trample the flowers. I guess what I am getting at is that we are both looking forward to spring for lots of reasons. 1. To lift our spirits. 2. To get outside more. 3. To see if our poor flowers survive. 4. Spring is kind of new beginnings for lots of things and I think that we need to feel refreshed and regroup in so many areas. We hope you all are doing well.
