Spring

I have been thinking about spring. I need to get my list made out and I have actually done a few things. I got the bird bath set up and the birds, robins mostly, and squirrels have been using it. It's fun to see. I have been pruning in the back yard the last two bushes on the hedgerow one left to do, I am in clean up mode now. Had some nice weather last week then it turned cold so I pushed the pause button on that project.  Bulbs are up and one is in the yard snowdrops came followed by pink fragrant blooms of one of my favorites daffs this week. Then the tulips with red veins I planted in the fall will make an appearance. It is good to have something in spring and beyond to look forward to this year. I planted a news pink iris this spring already and have been moving potted onions to the front year as I pruned off dead spikes from them. 

Walks have been interesting I have had to start carrying a walking stick again because of encounters with loose dogs that charge me. I did clean up the office purged files and papers and played musical dressers when I when I painted one for the spare bedroom, pulled out two small filing cabinets a chair and use a board for a desk or work space set up in the shop for now. I did not want to haul it off in cold wet rainy or snowy weather. It is so good to get that space freed up. I was discouraged that the paperwork is not done and seems to be ongoing but such is life. It goes on but at least that part is done and will not have to be done again and will not have to be done again that is helping. 

I made progress on the paint room and sewing crafting zone in the basement this winter as well. I am pleased with the space I reclaimed in those zones. Tax prep got done, and I cleared off a small table and moved it then had to elevate it to get the office chair to fit under it.
