Evening thunderstorms, warm sunny days, flowers budding and blooming, and those sheep out back are about to have little lambs... Yes indeed, Springtime is definitely here now! This is absolutely my favorite time of year. It's so full of promise and little happy things like a warm breeze, the smell of lilacs, waking up to the sunlight instead of the alarm. The season also brings a lot of work to be done - the kind that gives you a reason to spend your entire Saturday outside in the sunshine!
All the dead things of winter must go to make room for all the green lively stuff!
This year, our lawn needed that spring cleaning treatment. So, we rented a thatcher and bribed friends Katie and Roman to help tackle the job. One person to mow, one to de-thatch, and two to rake up the loose stuff and cart it away. We had a great system going!
We were done in no time, and decided to finish up that flower bed we tore out weeks ago.
It's properly draining away from the shop now, and weeding it will no longer be a nightmare. Whoohoo!
After Katie and Roman went home, we still had some daylight, so we started on the garden. We doctored up the soil in two beds and planted potatoes, carrots, lettuce and peas.
And, this time we cat-proofed it right away!
The finished product:
