bulbs and all that good stuff

In preparation for spring I have been planting lots of spring bulbs....I never knew that kneeling or squating close to the ground could be such an athletic activity, but today my thighs and butt are soooo sore. I haven´t quite finished, but my guesstimate is that I planted about 200 bulbs. I had a pack of 65 tulips and various packages of daffodils and hyacinths. I need to get my alliums in, but I think I´ll wait for another day....the thought of digging lots of holes 40 cm deep in our rocky soil is not terribly exciting. I didn´t realize just how rocky our soil was till I tried to dig a hole and heard nothing but crunch, crunch, crunch. DH is home sick this week, so he enjoy "supervising" this endeavor and I couldn´t wait for him to take a nap.

Speaking of DH, I can´t really say that he has been a baby, but he´s certainly needy. It´s been quite an adjustment to have him home while I´m trying to work. I love him, but I´m looking forward to his returning to work. I certainly hope that the anitbiotics kick in soon....
