| Well, my TS wooden duck has been sanded off and repainted. I painted both sides so it would look good from either side. Very simple painting--nothing to brag about--but I do think it will look sort of cute among the flowers. I need to drill a hole in the bottom and insert a piece of rebar in the hole so I can poke that into the ground to hold the duck upright. I'll take a pic to show you how she turned out.
My yard had allot of the plants damaged by the unually cold weather and frozen slush we got this year. I've been busy trimming all the dead off and seeing what can be salvaged. I'm happy to report that I think most of the plants will grow back out! ;o) I'm afraid pics of garden areas sure are not going to look very pretty for awhile

Hey, can't wait to see it. We had nice weather here yesterday so we all went out and cleaned the back yard up. Didn't even need a jacket!! Amazing how much junk blows in over the winter. I bet we picked up 20 plastic grocery bags against our fence. We got all the leaves raked up and bagged and DH ran the mower over the grass to make it all even again. We lost a few med sized limbs off the trees it looks like. We'll have to get those taken care of later. I think it will be looking good for our Easter Egg hunt though.
It was nice to get out in the sun for a few hours. My 2 yr old was trying to find enough sand to throw in the air, but our old sand box is sadly depleted. I told her we'd get her some more come spring. I think I'll just get one of those small turtle ones with a lid since she's the youngest and the other kids aren't interested in a big sandbox anymore.
Anyway, still need to trim up the rose bushes in front and trim the fruit trees a little and till the garden, but that will have to wait until the ground dries out a little more. Hope you are able to salvage your plants. It's sure nice to get a touch of spring weather to melt off all the nasty snow and give us a pick-me-up on our happy thoughts and feelings. ~Anj |
