Finally Out in the Garden

   Lots to do in the garden on this first day of no snow and milder temperatures. It was 6C when I got up and James and I were off to the park by 9:00 a.m. A little bit breezy so we didn't stay long. I had promised him a picnic so he had it on the front porch, which is quite sheltered and sunny in the morning, while I started raking the debris off the grass.

   By lunch time all the grass, front and back, was raked, except for a strip on the north side of the house where the ground is still somewhat frozen. We even had time for hide-and-seek and a quick tidy up of the deck. An extra pair of hands are always helpful!

You can see it is still "hat" weather but the gloves are off. Flowers are beginning to appear. This hyacinth is actually in the vegetable patch. Blame those pesky squirrels again!  



Both of us slept this afternoon - all that fresh air and exercise after a winter spent indoors, I guess.
