Spring Fever


Spring is such a wonderful time of year. The sun, the breeze, the flowers and trees...



My kids love spending time outside and I do too.





When we moved into this house I was nervous when we started landscaping so many flower beds. After all I hated weeding the strawberries growing up, how was this going to be any better?
Our house in Rhode Island had a ton of beds and plants already in place and we didn't know what we were doing so much so that we let weeds grow to be taller than Court and then liked the big purple thistle flower that bloomed.
Now six years later I have grown to really love it. I love weeding, planting and even pruning.

I took a couple pictures of the front yard. I just couldn't resist.

Yard work

Gentry started the drive to Chicago yesterday and I look around at all the jobs he didn't get done before he left. I guess I had better get to the yard work since it is one of my favorites. I have all of this to put down along with the weeding and fertilizing. As I start to dig a trench for the bulbs, I come across way more than I had barged for. I pull out all the rocks, barbwire, weeds, a bucket (how did that get in there and we hadn't come across it in the last five years?) and a dead bush.
All the work that I have done is now underground and we will be able to enjoy it all next spring. I am sure it will look beautiful then.
