Lots to do

Spring & Lots to Do

The weather was nice Sunday 3/21, I think it hit 61 here, the yard is in pretty good shape overall other than the mud, Rose deadheaded all of the plants in the Fall so all the beds look in good shape.

Daffodils are 4" out of the ground now.

We seem to be a month ahead of where we were last year the end of March.

Got the yard tractor out, very helpful with the trailer picking up debris and moving stuff around. One flat tire, and a near dead battery, got it started after a shot of starter fluid it ran good for about a minuter then unceremoniously died, WTH, fuel maybe?, I filled it up, she took another shot of starter fluid and it started again.  Drove it up to the back yard, I had lifted the hood on the engine, Rose noticed a bunch of grass sticking out around the spark plugs, we get mice building nests in the craziest of places.  Removed the hood completely, engine cover, fuel pump, and side panels. I found a headlight wire chewed nearly through, taped it off with electrical tape, replaced the fuel filter, and a vacuum hose line, it seems to run better now.

Took a walk up the street, picking up trash, bottles and cans as I went, I filled a grocery bag full with the garbage. Slobs... What is wrong with people?

The walkway all dug out amazing how quickly it gets buried under dirt and grass again.
 

Monday was nice too. Rose finished edging the walkway, I shoveled the dirt up we got a trailer load. 

Yard is still a mud pit.

Rose took to attacking the yard with the leaf blower Thursday 3/25, the yard is really looking great now.

Almost all our snow is gone at this point, still a big pile from the plow at the flower bed at the tail end of the driveway.

 

Rose and I went for a walk our onto Everett Dam Thursday evening it was 74 degrees here, Nice... Still have Ice covering Everett Lake.

More and more seedlings are coming up.

Oh, and we have earthworms up in the yard...

 

Stay safe out there...
