Today is first day of spring

temperatures are nice today, 65 degrees, but rain off and on all day. checked the rain gauge earlier and we have gotten 2 1/2 inches of rain already this week.

so at least it’s warming up some, and i can enjoy my yard on the days the sun comes out from behind the clouds.

looking forward to may, my favorite month.

It’s in the mid 80s here already. I will be swimming by mid April.

still no leaves on the trees, but i do believe they are budding. im going to pay attention this year to see when the leaves return.

yay spring :sun_behind_small_cloud: :cloud_with_rain: :cloud_with_lightning:

It never got cold enough here for the leaves to fall. My trees are full of leaves. I didn’t have to rake much this year.

that’s nice. usually i mulch my leaves with my mower, like a month after i’ve stopped cutting the grass. did it in november last year.

so that makes it a bit easier.

but i still have some fallen leaves behind the house, where i planted my hostas, which i never got to. i guess i could rake them, but if we get this stimulus package i may spring for a backpack blower from lowes to just blow them over the bank and into the woods. i think backpack blowers are about $300

Those are nice. I just have electric ones. I bought one from Harbor Freight that is supposed to be a blower, vacuum and mulcher but I haven’t taken it out of the box. It was on sale. I think it was about $40. But you have to use an extension cord.
