Yard Clean Up Begins!

Today the sun shone (mostly), the temperature was warm (er), and I put on a long sleeved tee, a sweatshirt, and a fleece, grabbed my basket of implements of destruction and my 'yardman' (a collapsible bag for which to collect debris so I don't leave piles for Wonderful Guy to pick up after me...he's wonderful...but with limits...) and headed out. The fleece came off in short order.

I got alot done in the backyard. Almost all the backyard is cleaned up.

Then I started hurting in all the 'out of gardening shape from wintering over' places. So I took a break, and saved some for tomorrow.

And the next day.

And the day after.

Can't have all my good stuff in one day!

It was sweet getting my fingernails dirty. And it is really sweet to see what the beds are looking like with their spring dresses on. And it is super sweet to see how they are developing their own personalities, like what is thriving where, what has seeded out and ended up where (actually fascinating...how did that end up here?), what is working and what is not growing(sometimes I just have to give up!).

Anyway. Now my allergies are making me sneeze, but that okay. My jeans are dirty, but so what. I might have a bit of sunburn on my neck and that is nothing but fun.

I am going to make Wonderful Guy take me out for BBQ. With dirty jeans. There's a new place in town that has decent, really better than decent BBQ. Finally... somewhere I can get some good BBQ in this state besides Steamboat Springs...
