First Peek

Finally got outside today to do the spring cleaning of the yard. Raking, pulling debris from fall, picking up bits of trash, repairing anything that needed it because of the harsh winter we had. We were outside about 3 hours before we finished. All of bulbs are up and I was please to see my lilacs, flowering almond, rose of sharon and others budding out.

Here's some peeks I got today of things to come....

New tulip bulbs planted last fall

It really was a lovely day. First day in 5 that I didn't wake up with a sinus headache. I had a bad day on Saturday and barely got out of bed all day, but we had company coming over and I had to "suck it up" and deal. Once up, showered and downstairs, we had a good time with Joe and Vicky. Fred did an excellent job of grillmaster and the conservation was excellent.

Sleep really really well last night and didn't force myself to get out of bed this morning, but once up, Fred and I went and had breakfast at Hy-Vee and then my husband bought me a new chaise lounge chair for our deck, so I can hang out on it when the weather is nice, reading or napping or whatever I want to do. I love it!

The blue shallow pot next to the chaise is what I plant herbs in and my Longaberger wrought iron table is a perfect fit


Tomorrow is my Monday off and I'm planning on riding my bike to the gym, getting a work out in and then spending the day at home taking it easy and doing some scrapbooking. Have a great week!
