Out Like a Lion!

The saying is...... if March comes in like a lamb it goes out like a lion. Today, the last day in March, the weather is AGAIN acting like a LION. Earlier this week we had howling winds. The stand of trees in the back swayed and again dropped branches. The guys we have contracted with to deal with the trees are behind schedule due to rainy weather. And the trees again dropped numerous branches - some small, some rather large. Yesterday (Wednesday) B and I went outside in the afternoon and I raked and picked up the branches as B started putting down lime in the back (we had done the front last week). Poor lawn - it is getting lots of needed care this Spring. 

Here is a stick that came down with such force it stuck in the ground. Last week we had a larger branch spear itself into the ground. 

Honey enjoys checking out the lawn - you never know what kind of smells are around. The pachysandra is one of her favorite "stops" when she goes out. We have two rabbits that visit our yard regularly. Honey is NOT welcoming. They poop on the lawn and I'm thinking they will be eating flowers come summer so I'm hoping she will cause them to lose interest. Unfortunately, she wants to chase them and since I'm at the other end of her leash, I sometimes go along for the ride! I've learned to drop the leash and just yell her name. She does come right back, often rather startled that I'm no longer attached! We are thinking about putting in one of those electric fences to give her more freedom.

Think Spring!
