We had such a sunny and warm day today I couldn’t resist doing some yard work.  I cleaned out the garden surrounding our pond.  Four over loaded wheelbarrows later, I was feeling it in my back and my knees.  It was worth it though, that garden looks a lot better. 

     By this evening, we had clouds and rain again.  We’re getting more rain tomorrow so the rest of the gardens will have to wait.  Down the side of our yard, I have this one-hundred and twenty feet long by four feet wide flower garden that I have to clean out.  Then there’s the twenty feet by three feet garden across the back of the yard and two small circular gardens under the magnolia and tulip poplar trees.  The way I figure it, if we keep getting rain like this, it’ll be sometime in June before I have them up to snuff.

     The magnolia is beginning to bloom and if I ever get around to dragging my camera out, I’ll have some new pictures to post on my pond and garden page.  The pictures I have up don’t show how the privet hedges are gone (I dug them out—all 135 feet of them) nor do they show the new fencing we put in last year.  Sunday is supposed to be sunny again.  If I get the rest of the gardens cleaned out so they look nice, I’ll take pictures.
