Although it was a cool start to the day, it eventually warmed up and turned into a gorgeous day. We decided to take advantage of the nice weather and started the spring cleaning on the yard. The first day always seems like the most difficult to get motivated, but once we got started it got a little easier. I didn't keep track of all the yard rubbish that we cleaned up but I'm fairly certain that there must have been at least ten heaping cartloads. Each cartload must be the equivalent of at least 100 gallons. Plus we managed to get all of the gravel from the winter's plowing raked off of the yard. While we were at it, we trimmed the last 4 grapevines, cleaned the birdhouses out and even managed to trim back two large ornamental grasses. Whew...I guess I should be tired!

Today started out with rain and it stayed gloomy all day. Tonight we're supposed to get a little snow...will winter ever end?
I finally got around to digging out the garden seeds this morning - I needed to at least think about warmer weather! We went to the store, bought some peat pots and I found the potting soil at home. When the seeds, soil and pots were finally all in one spot I managed to get some seeds planted. So far I have broccoli, tomatoes, ancho and bell peppers, cantaloupe and watermelon seeds planted. Now I just have to be patient and keep my fingers crossed that they grow!
