Yard Work

The week after Easter the weather cooperated enough to get outside and get the patio furniture set up and enjoy some yard work. It is amazing when the weather first turns nice and I can finally get outside to start the yard work how much I enjoy it. I have to admit that by the end of summer I am tired of it! Right now I am still at the "having fun" stage!

Dennis and Colin raked the flower bed up and got it ready for planting the geraniums. The planting is still a couple weeks off but it is ready to go. What a big help Colin was to his Dad. We also went to the Home Depot because they were having a sale on the vegetable starter plants: Buy one, get one free. Can't beat that deal! So I bought (2) tomato plants, a zucchini, red pepper and yellow squash. They did not have everything I wanted so I will have to start a couple things by seed. I also bought some herb seeds to put in a container on the patio. Right now I am just babying the starter plants and bringing them in a night because it has been cold.














It is so nice to have the patio furniture set up and spend time outside. Unfortunately that time was short lived; for the past week the weather hasn't been as nice as I like it. I am so glad that May will be here on Friday--nice weather must come with the first day of May...shouldn't it....isn't it a rule some where?????

We have our first camping trip of the season planned for the weekend of May 8th. I am looking forward to it...everyone cross there fingers that the weather will be warm enough for us!
