Spring Is Here!

Spring arrived officially last weekend. We have had such a mild winter, spring just kinda slipped in. Because of the mild temperatures, we have done yard work this past month. Lawn feed was put down several weeks ago. With the tall trees in the back, picking up branches is an ongoing task. Because of the numerous branches that have fallen, we decided to have the trees trimmed and some removed. The last thing we want is a tree to fall! Last week we took a walk around the house and agreed that the lawn we had fed was not greening up. The grass was matted and clearly needed help. So this week we had the lawn thatched. It was amazing the amount of dead grass and such that came up. They also ran the lawnmower (big riding one) over the lawn picking up all the crud they churned up!

 Here is the back lawn being thatched. I took the picture from the deck off the breakfast area. 

And at the back corner of the property is a group of trees. The pachysandra has been trampled down as this is Honey's favorite spot for her walks. The trees are quite tall and we are concerned that not only would they take out the fence (our neighbor's) but also could hit the house if they fell forward. We expect that the tree people will be here next week.

The swing that you see was there when we bought the house. It's a nice place to sit and enjoy the yard. 

Thanks for stopping by!
