Today was our first real gardening time of the spring. Everyone but Lily (who was still at school) pitched in and attacked the overgrown weeds and plants in the front yard. The weed-whacker, rakes, brooms, and clippers were wielded with glee, and Olivia was provided with her very own “little green weeds” to pull. Our first batch of annuals was planted (petunias and verbena), and we talked about putting in a rose-bush in next to the elm tree.
The only down side to our work day was the heat, which was sitting at about 85 degrees while we worked. I absolutely HATE sweating, but I certainly was. And poor Melody was having snow flurries in Ohio. There is no justice. At work tonight I was stiff and creaky, and it took me several hours to realize that it was only my body protesting against weed-pulling and guest seating in the same day. Oh, well…this body needs the exercise to keep it moving!
Happy Spring! Tomorrow is supposed to be a smidgen cooler…I hope!

84 degrees today (Sunday), then 90 Monday, and back into the mid-70s for the rest of the week. Unfortunately everything is so terribly dry, and this out-of-proper-season heat makes it very challenging to get a veggie garden growing. I’m hoping some of our warm weather heads your way soon. 🙂 – Fawn

Fawn, I’m in Michigan. Today it was sunny but cold in the a.m., and then by the afternoon it was snowing and sleeting — and the wind is blowing like crazy. Isn’t this weather so weird? I mean, that one part of the country can be so hot, while another part is freezing? I know the US is a big country, but still! 🙂

I’ve not been to Michigan, but it seems like they have a huge range in weather, with very short summers and long winters. As much as I complain about our roasting summers, I can still deal better with them than with extended cold. I hope tomorrow is warmer for you. – Fawn
