Tis the Season!

Since we've gotten home our weather has been more "normal" for our area; not like the winter. At least the grass has stayed green and there have been some decent days to be outside.

The first item on the agenda was to trim the apple tree. As you can tell by Patrick's attire, it wasn't a very warm day.

The next item was the yard. Last week we had someone de-thatch and mow the yard. Yesterday we made a quick trip to Fleet Farm to get what we thought was the right yard application to put down. We thought we'd give the Scott's four-step process a try this year; only to discover that what we bought yesterday was Step 3 - we missed the first two.

Today was another trip to Fleet Farm and we got Step 1. It was a nice day to be outside so this application is already down.

Now, we need to find Step 2.

Patrick's garden will be next on the agenda. He bought himself a new toy for tilling his garden spots.

It's not the biggest but is better than a hoe. As soon as he finds his fertilizer for the garden, this will be put to the test.

Next week is suppose to be warmer; maybe we'll get the pontoon home then as the dock and lift have been installed.

I guess that's why we need three months off in the winter - to rest up for our spring chores.
