I feel like it was just a week or two ago where I was on here complaining about the cold temperatures. For weeks we had been stuck in grey skies, winds that felt like they would never end and damp chilly air.
Well, happy days are here again! We seem to have jumped from winter right into summer and enjoyed an 83 degree day today with bright beautiful sun shine and perfect blue skies. To make it even better, tomorrow looks to be a repeat and yesterday was almost as great! A local news station does a little rating with the weather and today was awarded a perfect 10, something I had never seen. I fully concur!
I have spent hours outside cleaning up the yard, pruning bushes and mulching. As Frank and I get older this Spring clean up takes a little longer and causes more aches and pains but I still love it! To me it is part of the pride of home ownership. There is no race on getting it finished and I will be back at it tomorrow. I enjoy spending time in the yard and am perfectly willing to put in the time and effort to make it the way we like!
In a few weeks we will be able to plant our veggie garden. This is something that the girls and I do together. I enjoy watching them as we watch the plants mature. They take it very serious fully understanding that the care given to those little plants produce wonderful vegetables that we enjoy for months. We grow so many cherry tomatoes that through the summer months we always have a bowl full left on the island for all day snacking. Last summer my beautiful little girls had to handle most of the harvesting themselves since I was recovering. Although they did a wonderful job, I look forward to being fully involved this year! The area is prepped and ready, we even expanded again this year.
The weekend looks to be heading back into the 50’s. I am sure that will feel really cold after these few days. Until then, I will fully enjoy every ray of sun I can!
