We hope. It better not snow again!
Jordan is off so we took the opportunity to head outside while three kids slept (don't worry, the baby monitor came with us) and start tackling the yard. Having a huge yard is a great thing, but wow is it a lot of work come spring time.
In no time Rio was up and helping us weed, rake and cut. We made a serious dent in the front yard, although now it's pretty threadbare and waiting for a bunch of new plants. My work horse of a husband is currently out shoveling the driveway. Not snow. Moss. It has been driving me crazy that our driveway looks like it's covered in green shag carpet. Although we don't use the driveway often, we look at it out our front window and it has been the bane of my existence. No more! I have been standing in the window staring at him. I know he thinks I'm being a back seat driver, but really it's because I'm jealous. Nothing like some good yard work to make you feel gratified and like you really accomplished something.
Next we tackle the back yard. Oy.
Happy Spring All!
So jealous! There's about 4 feet of snow in my yard...it'll be at least a month before we see the grass underneath it all.
ReplyDeletegood job you guys but I gotta tell you the easier way to achieve these things: when the windows need washing, you buy new ones; when the yard needs a clean-up, you bring in a backhoe...hahahaha, and ours arrives tomorrow morning! Too bad you can't get one in your back yard. I'm afraid you're in for some back breaking work there for sure, but it could be worse, you could be shovelling snow ;0)
ReplyDeleteI am jealous too! there is 2 feet of snow in our yard... but... it is starting to melt, and mild temps and a little rain will hasten the process. Can't wait to get my hands on the gardens and things tidied up. Spring holds much promise.
