Smell of Spring.. or something..

Well, it’s been both gorgeous and sunny and five minutes later gray and stormy almost all week. We had a glorious weekend though, and if they keep up like that I’ll be forced to get started on the pre-spring yardwork.

We’re basically replacing/reseeding half the lawn in the back yard. (Which means Dog Dog won’t be able to go back there for about two months.)

I’m debating cutting back the roses that we forgot to cut back last fall. The tree/bush things along the back fence need to be topped off. There are two monstrous piles of twigs and branches that need to be sifted through for viable kindling/fire wood then burned. The garden needs to be relocated to make way for the new lawn.

Oh.. and soon.. the WEEDING starts all over again! This year I’m not taking any prisoners. I played nice with the yard last year and tried to discern between weed and weed-esque plants. If it even REMOTELY resembles a weed this time it’s going. I’ll find some definitively NON-Weed-Like stuff to plant if I must.

Welp, that’s about it for what’s going on. Work work work work.. at work and at home the Thompson’s are busy as bees finishing up little projects and each day making our castle more of a home. I finished cleaning and organizing my Music/Computer room last weekend as well, marking the final step in unpacking from our move!

This weekend Tracie and I are going to Seaside for Tracie’s Birthday and to try to make up for the weekend we lost when poor Tracie was sick all weekend last time. Wish us luck! (The way the cold and flu bugs are flying around our house it’ll take a LOT for us to make it there without bringing a bug with us!)
