Spring Cleanup

Whew, I love Spring, but, sometimes my back doesn't. I spent all day yesterday, and all this morning, doing cleanup. But, I got the gardens all raked out, finally, the back shed reorganized and a lot of big branches taken off of the linden tree in front of my house. I love that linden tree, but, it naturally grows down towards the ground, so I have to keep after it, every year, so at least some sun gets in. I neglected it last year, along with my gardens because I had just too much going on with my Aunt. So, this year, I have a massive job on my hands. One garden is so bad, that I think that the only thing I can do is tear it all out and replant.

The shed. I'd like to build the chicken coop in the corner where that door is.






The front yard after I got all of the branches off of the tree. I still have to load them up and dump them, but:

1. I'm pooped.
2. The cable people are coming this afternoon and I have to make sure I'm inside to answer the phone, or they won't come. Yes, folks, that's right, the cable is out again. And, this time, I checked to make sure that all of the jacks and plugs were in. We'll see what other stupid thing I overlooked.



One of the gardens. This one will be full of violets first. Then, after the violets are through blooming, there will be lilies of the valley. Two of my favorite Spring flowers.
