Spring Trellis

Well, I see spring is on the way. There's a bit of green poking through even up here in the Northeast. I guess our long, frigid nightmare is over. Of course, around here the disappearing  snow always reveals lots of jobs to do. Spring can be a big guilt trip for me. Lack of snow can leave an ugly world for a week or so. As Kramer said to Jerry after Cosmo had been smoking a pipe for a week straight and his teeth turned brown and his skin wrinkly, "Look away, I'm hidieos."
The snow is off the deck.
The grill is near firing up.
However, a blanket of white still covers the garden.
But...
Birdhouses are being hung.
Fertilizer being spread.
The lawn tractor is getting a tune-up.
Things are looking up.
Finally.

    Welcome to the world again! We are in the same situation but some forward looking neighbors have planted magnolias. A bit of color, even for a short duration, is a welcome sight.

    Happy first leaf time to you. Good luck with all your projects.
    That's an interesting pattern in the bottom window.

    New meaning to "the snow is off the deck". Sort of like "the blush is off the rose". :-)

    Finally! We are in the midst of recoating a bit of foundation wall that was letting water in when the ground was frozen - work never ends in an old building.

    TexWisGirl is welcome to come to our house! We're back into needing to mow weekly. A two hour job.
    Glad, though, you're seeing signs of a thaw. Welcome back to the world of growing things.

    The reflection in the window adds a certain woo woo feel to the photo. Makes you wonder what's going on in that house.
