Spring

...has sprung. And instead of blogging, I've been elbow-deep in dirt for the the last several, gloriously sunshiney days. I've planted blueberry bushes, apple trees, peas, and am now digging a new flower garden in front (my old ones are full).

At night, when I ease my achey muscles and sore back into bed, I can hear the peepers along the creek making a joyful racket. It's one of my top ten favorite sounds of all-time. It means that spring is definitely, irrevocably HERE. No backsies now.

Tomorrow, though, we're to get 1-2 inches of rain. I suppose it will be a good time to upload the photos from my camera and catch up.

This weekend was also a heavenly Spring two days in the mountains. All windows are open, but quilts are still on the beds for the morning chill.No rain :-( Darn it!

I put in six blueberry bushes yesterday -- I can't wait for those berries in a year or two.

I now have six raspberry bushes and loads of herbs to plant. Fun!

Glad Spring has finally sprung. I'd love to see picts of your gardens. I'm not much of a gardener myself. I don't get any sun at my house either, so that doesn't help.
