Loving this time of year!

Spring has to be my number one favorite season.  I love the anticipation of waiting for everything to grow and bloom!  I went out and battled the bugs today and planted my annuals and a couple of pots for the deck.  I noticed my dahlias are peeking through, my hosta is up, the bleeding heart is in bloom.  I noted we have one lupine that made it through, we put them in by seed last year.  I really prefer to plant established plants but we were a little strapped for cash last year so I tried the seeds.  This year I tried growing pansies by seed but I don't know if any will survive.  We put them in the ground today, I guess we will just wait and see!
While it was great to get the annuals in, I'll be paying for it for a couple of days.  As I write, my back is in spasms and my energy is drained.  It's a trade off, I can't give up everything I enjoy to avoid more pain, I just need to pick and choose my activities and plan around my pain.
