It almost feels like Spring
We have had several of days of nice "almost"
Spring weather - highs in the upper 60s and nearly 70 yesterday. There is still
a lot snow on the ground and the air doesn't smell like damp earth yet but you
can feel it coming. Yesterday, I opened all of the windows and let the house
air out. It is amazing how wonderful it feels when you realize it is time to
run around and open all the windows.
We planted some blueberry bushes next to the house on Sunday. Gardening again! What a nice feeling. This is our year for big gardening / landscape jobs. Seems like we are on an every-other-year cycle. House Remodel - Big Yard Renovations - House Remodel - Big Yard Renovations. This year we will redo our driveway and sidewalks. We will also redo our back patio by the house. The driveway is asphalt and it has reached the "time to go" point. The sidewalk from the drive to house is in terrible shape. Our back patio has sunken next to the house so it funnels all of the rain water up to the foundation (no. bad. wrong.).
On the fun side, I hope to put in some flag stone paths and a flag stone patio out under one of our big trees. Maybe I'll talk Ena into letting me put in a pond too!
Also, there is more fencing to be done and planting and weeding.
I'm just happy that I get to work in the yard again. Spring! Aaaahhhhhhh.....
