Spring Yard Work

Dad and I worked out in the yard for a while yesterday. We were working on the flowerbed in the back by the North fence and as soon as I saw the snake I started screaming. No way did I want to put my hands down in the flowerbed. Especially after your dad picked up the snake and it got away from him and went right back into the bed we were working in. Dad got the tall grasses by the fence cut down and we moved the wood pile into the dog run so we could get that area all cleaned up for our square foot gardening spot. Hopefully tomorrow we will get some more junk put in the junk trailer and get it hauled off. We are planning on putting black plastic down in the flowerbeds and covering it with rock to make it maintance free. We are getting lazy in our old age. The aspen tree on the south side is not doing well. It has had bore for several years. Not sure how many more years it will survive. It is supposed to be cloudy and rainy tomorrow, which may make it difficult to get out and work in the yard.

Also trying to get the camping equipment we had stored in the basement organized so we can put it out on the self in the garage, then it won't be under all the Christmas decorations and easier to access.

Kind of weird not seeing Elysha around or looking out the window to check and see if her car is home so we know she is safe. I'm glad she and Brandon are finally together and enjoying each other's company. Hope all goes well for the both of you and you are able to get settled soon.

Enjoy your Sunday.
