Remember last fall when we worked ourselves into an overly excited lather because we managed to dig up enough rocks to put in 12 little narcissus bulbs?  And we explained that, although we are terrible gardeners and had lousy, rocky soil, it was important that we get them planted because there’s nothing more depressing than April in Maine?

We are so inspired by this little patch of green that we have decided to extend our gardening efforts.  Heck, Cherie’s still on maternity leave and the weather is still too unpredictable to dip shingles, so why not?  So she’s taking on the Hillside of Doom:

More to follow.  (Really!  We mean it!)
