Gorgeous Weather

 We finally have had a Saturday to catch up on some yard work.  There is still a lot to do, but we could finally clean up some of the sludge mess left from winter.  I know that all of that trash wasn't originally here. The wind has blown some interesting things into our smallish yard in the last couple of weeks.  Being the last house on the block, I think that we accumulate more than our share.  We found worksheets from the elementary school, candy wrappers, cigarette butts, tumble weeds, and just plain old weeds.  So I hustled the 'button boys' out there to help get the garden ready to till, clean out some of the flower gardens and mow the lawn!

 I love the smells of spring and playing in the dirt is my kind of fun.  I love discovering all of the flowers that are waking up, and making plans for what we need to pick up at the nursery.

 My dad also has our tomatoes and some of the flowers started in his green house. How lucky am I that he does that for all of us?  (We help buy the seeds and soil to get things started and then by Memorial day it is ready to plant out.) He has done this for as long as I can remember.

 I love being outside and my house doesn't get the attention it needs after the weather turns warm So if you come to visit, I might take you out to the deck  so we can sit in the shade and visit outside.  Just kidding. I'll just close the bedroom doors.

  I can solve all the world's problems when I'm weeding.  I get all kinds of quiet time to my self.  I think that the boys avoid me on purpose when I'm weeding.  I might ask them to help. I just make sure that my mp3 player has good batteries, and that I can find my gloves and a trowel, and the rest of the world fades away.

 Oh, and bare feet are a must! There is nothing better than being barefoot on the grass!  Ahhh, I'm  de-stressing just thinking about it.








                                                                            Any way, back to spring........the fairy garden is ready to go! And as soon as the last freeze comes, we'll get the fountain up and going. This is my favorite little corner of the yard.  It makes me happy to sit out there with some Chamomile tea and listen to the water trickle.  I'm SOO excited to get these things done!

So....how do you get ready for spring?
