Spring is in the air.

You can feel it for sure this week.  Actually it's summer temps out there now.  It will get back into the mid 50's they say by the weekend....Its 70 something right now and 80's tommorow.  Wow, take this time if you can to get jump started on your yard work.  I know we've had lots of rain and many are taking care of any water issues they may have expierenced.  My heart goes out to those who expierenced any kind of damage due to flooding issues.  This is something that only happens every 50 to 100 years the weather folks tell us.  If you are able begin on getting the yard fixed up after a long winter.....by all means do so.  Leaves raked up, porches swept and spruced up allows you to begin to enjoy your "out-door" living areas sooner.  Prune back those plantings so they blossem beautifuly this Summer and Fall.  Refresh your mulch, and put your yard decor (plant hangers, bird houses lawn furniture) out now and enjoy your yard.  You may find later that your picket fence needs a fresh coat of paint or the porch.  Do that later as a project when the warm weather stays.
