So March is usually filled with some snow, dreary days and the hope of spring. But so far March has been filled with summer. 70 - 80s and sunny skies. So much so that our yard is almost green, our magnolia tree has started to flower, our apple trees have little buds on them, and all our "green" plants in the front are up.
So we took our 80 degree day on Sunday to do some yard work. Mainly trim things. I trimmed a few trees that are my nemesis when mowing the lawn (they have stolen my hat many of times). I also picked up my piles of sticks and leaves. But Ryan took home the prize. He trimmed the long row of our hedge. (Not sure what to call it). But it was about 8 feet tall when we started and now is about 4 feet. He chainsawed it off and I was again on clean up. He cut so much down that it took about 6 truck loads to the burn pile and now our burn pile for the first time is full. I mean totally full! But it looks good. Now if it could only be green!
Next up, we need to clean up all the rest of the leaves that accumulated under the hedge and along the burm. Also need to finish rolling the yard and do some more tree trimming, or maybe more like tree removal. Then its on to come house things... washing windows, scrapping paint and repainting, pressure washing, and attacking some hives of all sorts. Hopefully this warm weather is here to stay. Lots to get done before our wedding in 10 weeks!
