LET THE SUNSHINE!!! That's how I feel today. That old Fifth Dimension song is playing in my head as I look out the window. It is not that warm, but the sun is shinning and I have a lot of things that I want to get accomplished today. I hope to start raking up some of the debris that is always left in the yard from the winter. (branches, sticks and fallen leaves) All my spring flowers are poking thru the mulch and I need to get some of that cleaned up. I think that I'm going to let the fallen leaves still on the planting beds, because it still might get frosty at night. I have some small trees that I need to cut down. They are from the previous owner and were not attended to and have to be moved. I know other people have visions about what they want their yard to look like, but they don't fit in with my plans. I hate the thought of getting rid of any tree, but they are bunched too close together and next to the house. So bye bye trees.

Christmas has come and gone, January and February also. I don't know where the time has gone. Its now March and a lot of things have happened since I last posted. Our twins arrived on December 12, and I have been busy being a new Grandma. Check them out!


I took a good look at the calender today and realized that SPRING is right around the corner. I have been getting some mail order catalogs and have been getting antsy about what I want to do this year. I moved a lot of plants last fall, and hope that they will take and grow. I have a lot of day lilies along the side of my house and no matter how many that I remove, they just come back again. I want to look into adding some kind of water feature this year, but have to talk the hubby into doing that. Maybe a pond too...
