Today was the first day of decent weather, no rain, no snow, no below freezing temps... actually awas a sunny day and reached 48º, So we removed the plow and front loader and attached the mower. We did good, only took two hours.. Probably Monday both tractors will get picked up for service... will be another summer of mowing... I don't mind, gets me out and keeps me young. |

I'm waiting to see how the two mulberry trees I planted last fall will do.... I son't expect berries yet, I'll be happy for leaves. Drove to the local plant nursery today, bought two large bags of potting soil for our vegetable seeds. It was a long hard winter here, I'm happy that spring has arrived. |

My camellias and star magnolias are in full flower, the pond fish are hungry, birds are nesting, lambs skipping in the field over the hedge. Rhubarb is ready for first pick (today's lunch). Yesterday was a lovely day here, sunny and breezy, 19 C. Two loads of laundry dried on the line. J mowed our lawn, first cut of the season and heavy going because autumn and winter were too sodden for the final cut it needed last season. It's still very damp and mossy, evidence of local climate getting wetter in past few years. He also took out an old hawthorn from the boundary hedge, giving access to replace a rotted gate post on the boundary stockfence. I was going to burn it all but a rowing friend wants the trunk for woodturning. I did a lot more pruning of dead stuff and overgrpwth on bamboos and tall grasses, raked moss out of the courtyard gravel, and potted up a few hebe seedlings that had self-sown into it. Cleared off all last years dead stalks in the herb garden; the new marjoram fennel and chives are all up but no mints yet. Haystack of dead stuff was taller than me so I burned it; good thing I did because today is grey and drizzly. Janet UK --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |

That's a long way off for a weather forecast, and I doubt it'll happen. Cindy Hamilton |

Neighbors bushes will be bursting forth soon. My azalea bushes will be blooming within the week. |
