The long winter is finally over. A little snow drift remains on the north side of house but it should be gone by days end when the forecast temperature reaches 26 deg. C. Just yesterday, it hit 25 C. It is so nice to be able to sit out on the deck with the dogs and bask in the sunshine.
Yard work will be easier this year. There will be lots of pruning to do but the first full clean-up (collecting leaves, road sand, lawn aeration) will be farmed out to the good folks who did our snow clearing this past winter. After the pruning, I plan to re-stain the wooden deck furniture (two tables and 8 chairs). Some summer projects will be contracted out. These projects include fence and deck repairs, new deck steps, eaves-trough and exterior window cleaning, and roof re-shingling.
Happiness is ...
You can be a supervisor again. Sit on the deck and tell them how to do the job. The late snow melting will go into the deep roots and help with any summer drought! Your plants will thrive! It seems the winter started early and lingered longer. What is this global warming?
