after some nasty winter-like weather...

this is wonderful...

it looks and feels like spring...

(I know its not the real thing)

but its a nice break from all the cold and snow...

we have had our share of cloudy days, too...

so the sunshine is a bonus...

I need to come up with some plans soon...

of where to begin after the corn stalks are raked...

to prune or not to prune?

oh, heck, why start now?

my tiny, little ever green bushes out front...

they weren't supposed to get this big at all...

to paint or not to paint?

I really like the patina...

what do you think?

I think the yard just needs a massive cleaning up...

thinning plants in the beds...

we still have some pruning to do, but its all small limbs...

so we can do that in the spring...

so many possibilities out there...

and I am ready to be on the deck again...

swatting flies and skeeters...

better than frost bite any day...

I am hoping to have a productive weekend here...

and it doesn't matter who does the work, as long as we get something done...

will be finishing up the kitchen this spring, too...

as soon as I can open windows...

planning on getting some sewing done, though, before it warms up too much more...

I won't be in the mood to do it then...

;0)

have some really good and fun weekends out there...
