Yard Work is not for Sissies

I guess by the title you can tell what I have been doing. :-)

The weather has been so nice(until today)  my brother-in-law mowed my yard, thank you Steve,  and we cleaned out the landscaping beds,  trimmed bushes and trees and I by last night I thought my arms were going to fall off.  Oh. They. Hurt.   I love doing yard work. 

Afterwards we grilled out and I am pretty sure I went to bed at 8:30.   No joke.   I slept good.

After I trimmed one of the trees in the back I discovered a birdhouse.  Someone in 2002 had painted it for VBS and written on the roof was...Jesus to the Rescue!!   I left it hanging on the branch.

I cannot believe how green everything is and how the trees have bloomed over night.

The birds are loving this weather. I have a red bird that perches itself on the very top of a tree in the back at the same time we are grilling out for dinner.  He just sings his heart out.  I took pictures of him in the last post.  I recognize his singing voice.  Very different from the rest of the birds.   I am going to buy birdseed this Saturday to put in the bird feeders.  

I really didn't have much to say and have probably bored you to tears.   Just wanted to check in. How are you??


I am taking a friend to the airport in the morning and my sister and her grandson are riding with us and after we drop our friend off at the airport we are going shopping and out to eat.  Still trying to find something for Easter. I really need some Spring and Summer clothes

I am also continuing my basketball watching. My VOLS play tomorrow night.  They have never gone past the sweet 16 and I hope they win!!

I also plan on being outside.  I love being outside on a sunny day.   I may just sit on my porch and drink coffee and read a book and admire our work. lol 

What are your plans this weekend?

How neat that you found a birdhouse someone had made for VBS in your back yard!

The trees are starting to bloom here, too! I can't wait until our yard is green!

Hope your sore-ness goes away! We are planning on working in our yard over my spring break.

We did some yard work here last weekend and I felt it for several days! I've seen several cardinals this week that have brightened up some overcast days.

I missed you this week! Pray you are doing well.
