This last few days have been so lovely just plain wonderful. It's spring and we are loving it. Glen has been very busy taking out bushes in the front of our home. The tall pine and the small ones by the drive way are no more. He was able to pull them out with his truck pretty easy. Although if you check out his arms and hands he looks like he's been to war, I guess in a way he has with the bushes. They have little roots but are they ever heavy. They still have the moisture they collected during the winter months still in the roots.
He had trouble getting the job done because of all of the people driving by - they all stopped to see what was happening and wanting to chat. Aren't neighbors great! A couple guys one from next door and a guy that was from around the block came by and helped clean up yesterday. Glen filled his truck but there was still a lot left to go to the dump. He took the truck (BIG load) this morning and has been working on the stump and limbs left but that will be for another day.
Now we can see when we drive out of our driveway. Yea!! No more worrying we'll hit a child or adult for that matter or even a car that appears all of a sudden because we couldn't see them coming.
I was afraid it would look really bare but to be honest it looks just great without them there. We are going to plant grass - make taking care of our yard much easier. The flowers along the drive way are going also. Just plain Jane house now. The pine and small pine by the front are also on the agenda to go too. Mostly these are getting the ax because they have over grown the area they are in and are threatening our roof.
Change is good and as long as we go along with it - life is good. But when we develop a "mule" brain it becomes very difficult to deal.
I love seeing the flowers coming out this time of year especially. Saw some crocus Tuesday morning that were in a ladies yard - yellow, purple, white and pink. They are just so breath taking this time of year after all of the winter snow and cold winds.
Also, we have some of our garden planted. Peas, radishes, red beets, parsnips, and lettuce. Now to wait for the growing to happen!
Isn't Spring great?

Wow! You guys have been busy little bees. I can't wait to come & see your new front garden. Have I ever told you how much I hated those evergreens? I really did.
Hey! It's good to hear from you again! I can't wait to see your yard; does this mean all the snow finally melted?
I'm very jealous that you got your garden going, but at least there's no more snow on mine so we'll get it planted before too much longer!
Love ya
