I’d be delighted if I could get half of the stuff done I need to do out in the yard and in the house. Once the ground thaws I’ll need to begin to fill in the pond, level and grade the yard away from the house, and start building raised beds.

     I will put down a rather large patio area to keep the dogs and The Curmudgeon from tracking in mud all the time. I want raised beds to make it easier to enjoy my gardening. All I need left in grass is an area big enough to play a rousing game of Bocce.

     I will miss our pond but it is time to move on and make things easier for ourselves.

     Inside the house, I need to get moving on painting the entire interior.  Ah yes, now all I need find is the energy to do all of this or volunteers to help me.
