However, they are much too happy here and I spend many gardening hours chasing them away.<br /><br />Hi Donna. I often forget too but needed something cheery after all my past snow posts :) <br /><br />Indeed happy spring faces, dearest Edith, but as sweet as they are, they are also pests! Not so much the yellow and white as the common purple. In the lawn, they are weeds!joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09569378877717221045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-3963303861292901952011-02-01T09:24:36.586-05:002011-02-01T09:24:36.586-05:00Joey, Your photos are each like a beautiful painti...Joey, Your photos are each like a beautiful painting.
