I’m crawling out from hibernation, slightly overwhelmed at the task at hand. Thought I’d better start off by collecting my thoughts and making a short term to-do list for this weekend:
- Clean and oil tools
- Prune and spray fruit trees (hiring someone, hah!)
- Wash exterior windows
- Rake lawn
- Cut back ornamental grasses
- Sweep for landmines (dog shit)
- Make hubby do a dump run
- Prep veggie garden beds
- Dig out the few plants that didn’t survive the winter
- Burn baby burn
Gah, I don’t know how much of this I can accomplish this weekend while at the same time amusing a two and a four year old, but here goes!

Hey, you had someone prune and spray for you? Who/where/how much? I think we need to do that. We’re not ready to figure out all these fruit trees yet!
