I couldn't resist walking around my yard to see how many weeds were in my flower beds, looking at my trees and thinking how pretty it will be once I can get outside for my "therapy". I was surprised to see some trees with tiny buds peeking out, some bulbs that were peeking through the dirt and more weeds than I care to deal with. When the ground dries out enough, I'm going to be putting Round-Up on those weeds, covering the dirt with wet newspapers and putting a fresh layer of mulch on them to stop the weeds.
With the mild winter we've had, my trees and flowers have gotten confused and think it's time to wake up from the winter. I hope future winter weather doesn't kill them.
Yes, spring fever has arrived for me. Until I can actually get outside and do what I love - making a pretty yard, I guess I'll continue doing things inside that I don't do during warm weather. That will include washing all my curtains/drapes, cleaning the window blinds, painting and a little more organizing.
I will be planting a big garden this year, too. Can't wait for fresh corn, butter beans, peas, okra, tomatoes, green beans, onions and whatever I decide to grow. Hopefully I'll have a freezer full by the time summer is over. It's funny how things I just "hated" having to do in the past are now things I love doing.
I can't wait! I love gardening. Digging in the dirt is an urge that hits me every year. Hubby says I'm running out of places to plant things. I disagree! There are plenty areas that could use a tree or a flower bed.
It's nice having something to look forward to.
