I sure was! In the 60's both days and last night we slept with the windows open for the first time this year.

And the spring peepers were singing their hearts out. I love that sound!

Installed 4 yards of mulch on Sat. because it is going to be 84 here in southeast PA today.

My husband and I trimmed tree branches all day sunday. Iam beat and sore. But it was so beautiful outside it was worth it.

I slept since I work midnights...but only one more day of work, and then 7 off in a row! Whoohooo!

We had a great weekend, here in Nashua, NH! It was wonderful, tackling the yard and prepping for flower planting (the farm stores just started putting out pansies!). That said, I think we might have stirred up some of the local wildlife, especially where I used the blower to move leaves away from my stone lined planting bed.... woke up this morning to another "present" from my kitties, a dead mouse! __ :-) ___

A couple of spots around the planter showed tunnels under the leaves to the wall. I'm guessing I woke somebody up and they moseyed (or is that mouseyed?) into our garage. Our four cats, two of whom we know are mousers, have access to the garage thru a door in the kitchen wall. I feel bad for the mouse but how stupid can you get?!

I am going to do some yard work today since we are supposed to get in the 80s. I was playing with my new long arm all weekend. I still don't have the fall cleanup done. I need to replace my split rail fence around the back yard for the dogs, so mulching may have to wait till after I get someone in to do the fence. Just waiting for the sun to shine so I can get outside. Have a good day everyone :!:

I worked Saturday, but Sunday was great. The grass is finally turning green! I recieved a yellow lilac bush I ordered, so wanted to plant it, but the wind was so strong!

I'm hoping to work in my yard today since it should get into the upper 50's. Never heard of yellow lilacs CarrieAnne. I would love to see one.

We were at the quilt show in Ohio and it was 80 degrees there. The grass was a lot taller when we arrived home because it was 83 here on Sunday.

Did what I could in the spots that were bare; but still quite a bit of snow that the rain we are getting today should get rid of. Also found the bare ground to still be soggy. At least got the broken tree limbs from the winter winds picked up. That's a start!! Sure felt good to be out in the fresh air anyways.

I hope for your sake the mice are real stupid and kitties are really smart! Man, I hate mice! Nothing will ruin my day more than one of those little buggers! <shivers> That's one reason I'm very happy with my Foxie Lady. LOL Crap, I'll give her dog bones if it keeps her coming and cleaning up the rodents here! LOL

I actually got about 90% of the spring cleaning wash done this weekend and only 1 flower bed cleaned out.

I raked a few of the dead patches in the lawn from the princess...and filled a couple of grocery bags with stuff that was around.

The kids decided to pop over to see if my "free" washer was available for a load or two. (they are saving for their wedding)
The other son stopped over with the dog, so we grilled and ate outside at the table. it was over 80.

I helped a neighbor pull old mulch and transplant roses.

Couldn't do anything to windy and it was to cold.Connie in CO

Went to the quilt show too, weren't even thinking about my yard. :P

I did a TON of yard work this past weekend. Basically I re-claimed my areas from the jungle it became. These are before & after of the back area:

And part of the front area; I haven't done the other half yet.

Did some weeding this morning, had plannrd to do more, but these darn legs just don"t let me do ads much as I use to do. Yesterday went shopping for new kitchen flooring, counter tops and paint. My middle son offered to come repaint walls and cabinets and install the flooring if I'd get out and find what I wanted. I'll be busy this week stripping wallpaper from kitchen and dining room, and finding a place to put reverything from the china cabinets and corner cabinet so those can be moced. He came on Sat. and hung new chandelier in dining room for us. Is that a great kid or whatt?!!!

I know what you mean about mice! I'm just glad I'm well protected from critters. The count, in the nine years I've been in this house, is 5 bats, 3 chipmunks, and about a 10 mice, none of whom were invited!! Except for the bats, which are a whole other story, I think my furry ones are catching them in the garage, bringing them into the house thru their cat door, and then playing them to death. At least, I haven't seen any "evidence" that they've been in the house. Oh happy days! :-)

Looks SO nice when it's done, yes?!! Amazing transformation. Your yard looks good!

It got up to almost 90 yesterday. It was also very windy. I did work in the flower gardens a little, but gave up and came inside.

DH and I (mostly him) worked outside almost all weekend, trimming, raking, setting up the patio...etc. What a beautiful weekend! I did sneak in occasionally and sew a few seams...the day just isn't complete unless I've sewn or quilted something!!!

I was outside doing pre-gardening "stuff"... till it got to 84 degrees....and pretty humid. We set a record! Coming out of the harse winter it was a drastic change. It was still hot when I went to bed.

Still too cold and wet here for that :D:D:D

It snowed all weekend for us. Shelley in Utah

Tryed to clean up my pond off & on for 2 days & now can barely move any of my "parts"! Not LOL!!

Cleaned up the backyard. Put all the chair cushions out and the canopy back up on the gazebo. Now I hear we are supposed to have rain on Wednesday. :(

It was in the high 80's this weekend and so Saturday I went to my parents to help level their above ground pool (6 hours in the hot sun) Yesterday I cut some limbs and helped the neighbor in their yard and then I got in my pool to clean all the leaves out. I love hot days. Cold hurts my bones.

planted peas and lettuse hubby got a garden tractor at auction so he had fun plowing up the yard.

We have been working outside every day. We are now getting vegetables every day from our garden so I have started canning some.
I spent a couple of days cleaning out the areas around the house and flower beds but, it will take a lot more. I have been fighting sinus problems from all the pollen so I have been really miserable!
We finally got the cover on our greenhouse. We have a hydroponic system set up in there but haven't planted it yet.
We got a really early start on the garden this year because I started so much inside under a grow light.We are growing in raised beds and buckets this year.
Oh by the way, we saw the first tassels on our corn this morning!! We also have blooms on our tomatoes and peppers! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :D

Not here, highs in the 40's, maybe next month. LOL

it got to 80 here in the detroit area..i spent 2 days in the grden, clearing out the old, and even put some mulch down. it felt sooo good to work out in the garden! i missed last summer because of knee replacement..had the other on done in jan.
i am more than happy to get out there!

it is only getting into the 50's today, but i will put on sweat shirt and get out there agin today!

Most yards are filled with rock and a few plants. No such thing as a garden around here. I went back to Napa, CA last September and my eyes hurt from all the green and pretty flowers.

Mine is done. Had to totally replant the back yard because we lost so much to the freezing temps here. My herbs are coming up nicely, everything I planted is living (so far) and now it's just a matter of weed control. Those of you further north, enjoy. It's so much fun to watch nature take its course (except for the weeds taking over and bunnies finding lunch.

Planted my canaa lily bulbs into pots, while looking at all the snow in my backyard. The pots will be indoors until the end of may, until all danger of frost is over.

I wasn't I was at a quilt retreat. Also it is kind of hard to do yard work when the ground is still frozen.

Raining in the Northwest. I'll be out today though.

Worked in flower bed some, rained last night and won't plant my garden til good Friday.

Did all the yard work and planted Pansies during the week as I had a wedding shower at my house on Saturday.

me and enjoyed every minute of it i so love to garden hubby did lots of yard work too.
