With the weather this past weekend being quite gorgeous we took the opportunity to do some spring cleaning and finish some projects that sat unfinished over the winter. SO of course we called Dad over!! First, Steve painted the unfinished wall to our back porch where there was a previous window from the old kitchen. Then my dad put the trim back up around our new energy efficient front door, then he put trim around the sauna door in the basement...i found wood that looked like it was meant to go there, not sure why the previous owners never finished it(??) but it looks so much better now. I, myself did a little cleaning around the house and out on the back porch--with an 80 degree day approaching, i needed to get my outdoor sanctuary ready!!
**Of course one fur child was ready to pose for the photo op :)
I then headed outside to do some spring yard cleanup. Boy did our yard need some TLC over the winter. Think, 2 dogs...twice the poo = yuck!! I know! But i also trimmed down our lilac bushes out back. Frankly, it were more like a big dead tree that needed to be done a long time ago! PLus we are fencing in the backyard in a few weeks so i decided on getting a head start on cleaning up the overgrown mess.
Oh and after the 85 degree (record breaking) day, look what popped open smiling on monday morning--My first daffodil blooms of the year!! These literally opened up during the night time because when i was outside raking on sunday they hadn't bloomed yet. They are so happy that it's finally spring--me too!
