After what felt was the longest, snowiest, most disastrous winters ever, spring is finally here. And with it comes promise of positive things to come. The first 3 months of this year has been unbelievable. My Mom's health has been poor, numerous legal and family issues, ongoing knee problems and a crazy work schedule has me longing for spring to start. Now that it is here, there is so much to do - I don't know what is worse? Just have to make lots of lists and jump in and get started. Good things to note ... our forsythia hedge is in full bloom this weekend which we typically never get to see and finally mature enough that we can go out and clip as little or as much as we want for the house. Forsythia is one of my favorite flowering shrubs and it reminds me of my years living in North Carolina and cutting armfuls of the stuff to put in your house and a clear sign of spring. Our chore list begins:
1. Donations
2. Putting up new bird feeders
3. Painting existing birdhouses and getting them out early this year.
4. Getting out the water barrels for storing water
5. Taking down the deer fencing
6. Removing all the burlap covering
7. Taking off the tarps that are covering stacks of pots
8. Getting out the wood chipper
9. Putting out all the garden ornament
10. Raking all the leaves out of every crevice in the yard
11. Spray painting the pergola
12. Spring house cleaning
13. Planting potatoes and early veggies
14. Clearing all tree limbs and branches from winter
... and the list will continue...
