Yesterday was a beautiful spring day so I decided to get a bit of work done outdoors. It took several attempts to start the lawn mower after its winter hiatus but finally it started. After cutting the lawns I hauled out the pressure washer to clean some of the winter grim from the windows and doors. The maple trees are dropping seeds so I pulled a few of the tiny maple seedlings from a couple of the garden beds. As I worked my mind wandered thinking how I will miss this place a lot if or when we move.
It has been a very wet spring to the point local farmers have had to delay planting. I noticed how wet the ground was as I was mowing. A few times the mower left ruts as I was turning it! In fact the spring has been so wet only the ducks are happy. Speaking of ducks, the mallards are back with a nest under our bushes. I'm not sure how many eggs are in the nest as I try not to disturb them. As a sign of appreciation the parents always bring the little ones back to visit us.
Happy Gardening!
