Spring Clean Up

We have been enjoying the improving New England weather this past week. Snow is finally melting and green shoots are coming out of the ground. Last week I shared a daffodil picture from last Spring. Here are how the little guys looked on Sunday:

They should bloom in a couple of weeks.

We took some photos while we were outside in hopes that something would be good for next month's blog design. I wrapped the design up on Monday. I didn't use the photos below but why not share them anyway?!

The skillful observer may notice that despite my claim the weather is getting better, I am wearing my down coat. I have two responses to that: 1) I am always cold so I bundle up, and 2) "Nice weather" in March in New England means we have not had a snow storm for a week.

Mike always looks handsome. Man, I did good!

We spent some time doing yard clean up. The ice storm hit us fairly hard in December and we had branches down all over the place. Mike did a lot of clean up while I was in Kansas City but there was still plenty left on Sunday. We moved two felled Birch trees and a 30' section of a Cedar tree up into the brush pile, in addition to general twig and branch removal. It was a job, but the yard looks great now!

Happy Spring!
