Ahhhhh spring....when the sun shines, the birds sing....and the raking begins? What is up with this backwards spring here? It's like September in Chicago. JB and I spent all Saturday raking the leaves....and I've got the blisters to proove it! On both of my thumbs. Ouch. However, the lawn looks much nicer now....of course it also looks like it needs a few areas of new sod, and definately more mulch to fill in. I'm biding my time before going to Lowes....once I do that, it'll be over. I'll be buying plants and herbs and spray for my fruit trees....edging and rocks and mulch, oh my! I'm so excited to get started....
I have to take London to get her sutures taken out in about an hour. Oh joy. She freaked out the last time I took her....can't wait to take her again. It's 9 am and I am the only one awake here! The girls are both snoring....literally! They crack me up. Betsy has not been feeling good....sinus infection....and has been spending hours up in the tree house, lounging around watching dvd's or listening to music and reading. She said she loves the tree house! LOL. She stays out there till midnight....last night wee one went out with her and they had a marathon of Connect Four. LOL....she came in at one point and went into the kitchen. I asked what she was doing and she said that Betsy suggested they have popcorn! LOL....it's so nice to see them bonding.
I have really been slacking on this journal lately. It just seems that every time I sit down to write, someone interrupts me. This week isn't looking good either, being that the girls are home AND my sister and her hub are here for the week. Apparently, however, any time between midnight and 9 am looks good for uninterrupted writing! LOL. I had 48 journal alerts this morning! So....forgive me if I didn't comment on all....I did read them all though! And not just from the alerts....I actually went to the journal! LOL....I suppose that's the ocd in me!
Okay, time to get dressed and ready to fight my way through the vet appointment. Happy spring!

Good luck at the vet - I actually took Hobbes' sutures out myself. He was wonderful for me.
Sleep late for me a couple of mornings - each of my children has a separate Spring Break - ds is home now, oldest dd has off the first week of April, and younger dd has off the second week of April. No late sleeping for me. Wahhh.
Happy first day of Spring to you also.
Hi sweetie! Hope you'll post photos of your beautiful lawn when you get it all together, I'd love to see them. That treehouse sounds wonderful, I bet your girls just love it. Happy Spring! :-)

I can't wait to start gardening myself.
Missie
man I can't wait to whip our yard into shape too. . . I just know it's not time but the weather sure is deceiving.
Hugs,
Holly
p.s. I'm so glad the girls are spending quality time together. They remember things like that for the rest of their lives. . hmmm I think I'm gonna go call my sisters.
I hope the appointment went well today. I can't wait to get into the whole yard thing either! Enjoy the week! Martha :-)
Speaking of spring and gardening... we just got some stepping stone rocks today and made our flower bed in front of the house curve out to the driveway a bit more. We're putting in the stones so we can stop worrying about killing the grass in that corner near the driveway. Rob brought me petunias to put in and for the life of me I can't find geraniums in central Florida but honestly, I think they'd do well here. Do you have any in the Jacksonville area? I've looked everywhere... no luck yet. Hope you have a great week with the family visiting and kids home from school!
