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
