The Arrival of Spring....Finally!

Hello Everyone!

I am out in the garden getting everything ready for the outdoor living season.
So far...I did manage to get the potager planted...
the espaliered fruit trees groomed...
All of the linens washed and hung out on the line...
And a few hostas divided
Whew!




We went from furnace running and me freezing ...
To 82 degrees outside and scrambling for window air units!

I am way......behind  with my gardening so I must run
I am laying a new stone path into the potager and if I quit for too long...I'm too pooped to resart!

But I do hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!
I will be back with more photos of Tinker!
 It's his very first Spring!
Until next time....

  11. I wanted to ask you , how do you keep the weeds from growing in the pea stone? Do you put down a fabric barrier or spray a chemical or what?

  13. Donna your collage of the garden is so pretty. I don't think there is anything I love more than to see linens hanging on the line. It makes me think of my mom. But it also just looks so rural and country, which you know I love.
    I got to work in the garden the last three days and I am so sore. That's what I get for being such a slug through the Winter.heehee

    I love your post about the message on the lotion. Itn't it so cool how God gets our attention? Such a beautiful post Donna.

    I am sorry to have been gone so long. Dale's dad died on the 30th and we have had many things going on here.
    I will be thinking of you today while I am digging away in the dirt. Hoping that you are having the same kind of joy as I am.
    love to you,
