saturday

John has been cleaning up the back yard, loading up steel.  We took 2 loads to the dump today, they have a container and will let you dump for free!  Yea, it would probably have cost $100 or more for all we added to their stash!  Guess they sell it.  I did some raking in the back yard this morning, it's looking good, John is going to move my square foot gardens down there, he wants the upper yards to show off his art. People are coming here to look at it and he's even sold a bit.  I'm not sure I like people wandering around in my yard all the time!

Our neighbors, the Swansey's, just down the street had a moving sale today, they are buying a place in Andy's area, sounds like a nice place, they're off the road a few miles and sounds like maybe lots of space.  We bought a toaster oven and a cute little electric heater that looks like a fireplace complete with fire, cute!

We ate lunch outside today, it feels good to be able to eat out again!  Jessie started the season for us by wanting to eat out while she was here. 

Took pix of trees in bloom today, spring has rushed in!  Almost overnight the trees are getting leaves and the forsythias is in bloom as are fruit trees.  My forsythia is blooming and our elm is leafing out.  The locust still says spring isn't here yet, so we may have massive frozen blooms around town.  Our pear hasn't bloomed yet. Glad to see spring arrive!
