So this year spring has teased us three or four times. The weather has warmed up beautifully for several days, and then been followed by quick plunges back into snowy weather. It's almost like Spring wakes up for a few minutes and then goes back to sleep, whining just like a kid who doesn't want to get out of bed. "Aww, Mom!? Just five more minutes. . .*snore*"
I'm done being demoralized by it though. I think by April 18, it's safe to say that Spring might be here to stay. Part of my angst is driven by the fact that I want nothing more in the world than to be able to get working on our garden. We have a bunch of improvements planned for our yard and property this year and we're ecstatic to be able to get started. Here are few pics detailing where we are starting from, followed by where we've gotten to so far.
This is the Picture from Google Earth, taken before we moved into the house, probably two years ago. As you can see the previous owners used the southern triangular bit of the property as a junkyard, for parking cars, trailers and storing lots of junk. I'll add to this later.
