good old fashion sweat and busy spring days

I can't believe it's May already. I was excited when March arrived and before I realized it.... May showed up. I'm so grateful for the beautiful weather we are enjoying this spring. My yard is looking good and the weeds are thriving.

I started work just after 8 this morning. Planting baskets trying to get color ready for Mothers day. It was a busy day. The sun is out and so are all our customers. I'm so eager to get my yard into shape. Plus get my garden going. I left work after 6, along with more goodies for my yard.

Errands on the way home - getting gas and picking up my thyroid medication. Once home I let the boys out and worked on planting 8 strawberry plants, a austin dewberry, youngberry and a boysenberry. I'm going to try them out this year and hopefully have a recommendation for customers next year. Planted up a pot with red white and blue, as well as one of my planters that attaches to the fence. I even mowed the front yard. I was feeling good so I kept going and attacked the grass that was encroaching on my perennial bed. It felt amazing cleaning out all the weeds and grass. I feel like I have even more places to plant now :) I called it quits once it got too dark to see well and after I planted my gorgeous new red poppy and white poppy. Today was trash day... I filled half the trash can all ready.

Happy May everyone. I hope you are enjoying the first part of May just as much as I am :)
