I've sown my seed...

both literally and figuratively now.

The butterfly garden has been planted. I put the Delphinium and the majority of the Lupine up by what will be the fence line, since these variants generally bloom flowers off of spikes anywhere from two to four feet tall, which will make them ideal to line the fence on the flower garden side.

The hyacinths are up in three different colours now at various places, and surprisingly fragrant. These were a surprise, since i found the bulbs under the stairs and had no idea what they were when they were planted.
Here are a pair of little pictures:

Took alexander ice skating for the first time. All in all, i'm impressed.

He did better than i expected. At no particular point did i lose my patience with him. Kid managed to flirt with every female between the ages of six and forty, with most of his attention spent on the later teens to mid-twenties. If that's any sort of precedent, he'll be a heartbreaker by the time he's old enough to date. After not having skated in at least a year, possibly two, things came back more quickly than expected. I couldn't link backwards crossovers, but i never really could- which is one of the major reasons why i never played above second or third line forward in low juniors.
