It’s been some time

So lets catch up.

First, the yard. It’s all soaked in. It cleared itself up thank god after a few days. It’s still pretty wet in some areas towards the very back, as it doesn’t get sun as much as the rest of the yard, but it will sort itself out. We have spent quite a bit of time at Home Depot lately. Getting various yard tools as our projects call for them. We’re getting ready to grade the perimeter of the house, seed and fertilize. We raked the front yard yesterday, pulling up dead grass, sticks, a few pieces of kids toys.. The backyard still needs to be done.

I yanked out one mini garden’s borderbricks. Man those things are huge and heavy and such a horrible way to frame the garden! There is the entire back line of the fence done with these bricks, as well 2 other mini gardens. I fear pulling the ones up in the front flower bed as well-meh- K sawed down the grapevine that was covering the arbor yesterday as well. Pulled the arbor apart so that it can be repaired, sanded and painted. I trimmed branches away from the house/gutters on the lilac tree. The shed is finally clear of snow and everything-lol- HOwever the doors on it suck, and I hope they can be repaired.

The little seedlings for the garden are growing amazing! We have them on the counter in the kitchen under the cabinet lighting. I was worried about my columbine flowers, not sprouting as i planted them, and then read I was supposed to chill them first. However today I had a peek while watering and I can just now start to see bits of seedling pushing their way up from the peat pellet. yay! The front flower garden is full of tulips coming up, as well as what I’m thinking are daffodils, but I’m not sure.. I know they’re not tulips. That is all *L*
