March????

I live in Buffalo, NY.
We're known for our snowy, cold winters (and chicken wings).
This year?
Um ..... not so much.
So you can imagine how odd it is for me to have 70+ degree temps in MARCH?
I almost feel like i'm back down in the south!
(almost .... I don't have monster bugs that'll carry my children away here)

Since I still can't do a whole lot of lifting, bending or pulling, I could only watch my neighbors get a HUGE jump on their yard work, planting, clean-up, etc.
What I could do though, was take a walk around my yard and see what all will need to be done.
(I do still have a 17 yo living here, might as well put him to good use!)

My yard needs help.
Lots of it.
The back fence needs to be replaced.
The pool is always a challenge to open, clean, etc.
The shed needs a new roof ... oops ... and a new door (damnit).
The concrete pad shifted .... and cracked.

*sigh*
Let's go to the side garden.
 
Oooooooo ........



My tulips are coming up!
OHMY!
I have some just about ready to BLOOM!
Bloom?
In March?
Unheard of!

I apologize for the crapiness of the picture, I only had my phone on me and I was enjoying the beauty of the day to come inside and get my real camera.


This made my day .... and makes my other projects not seem so overwhelming.
I hope y'all had a prettiful (my baby's word) weekend.

Circling the universe ....

It's Monday!
Haiku time!

Curmudgeon is this weeks host .... and his subject is Circles.

Hmm .... so many options!
This is part of why i'm trying my hand at Haiku ... the subjects make me think.
And the 5-7-5 forces me to convey my thoughts and words in a very strict form.
So NOT me .... or my style of writing!
But the more I write, the more I find I ADORE them!

Here's my first for this week:



 
I do forever
Springtime until death parts us
Loves endless circle






Heart, Blondie, Bee Gees
Circular sounds of my youth
Stars on 45's!
