Spring!

It's the first day of spring and I am certainly ready for something pretty to look at outside. I am tired of the brown and drab!

We did a lot of weeding today, but still have a lot to go. I want to get the vegetable beds ready although I am still thinking about rearranging them. Big Daddy wasn't thrilled with this idea because we just sent a bunch of wood back with my dad a few weeks ago. Oh well. Big Daddy cleaned up the front yard a bit too. It was very windy and cold outside, so the kids went inside early. They were arguing with each other, so I had them clean and organize the toy closet. They did a nice job!

The Lenten roses look beautiful, but I can't see them from inside the house. The magnolia and the weeping cherry have little buds on them. The daffodils are up and getting ready to bloom. I can't wait to see some color out there.

A few weeks ago we went to the nursery to look around and I saw some things I would like to add to our garden. Hopefully we will do it this summer. I have a tree to replace and would like to hide the compost bin a bit and add some evergreens.

Big Daddy took out the four maples on the other side of our fence. They were pushing against our fence and that property is just a junk area since the developer went under years ago. The roots were growing into our yard because we water our plants. I liked looking at them, but they needed to be a few feet away. I miss when it was all trees behind us.

I hope the weather warms up soon. I am ready for spring!
