Spring is here and the trees and flowers are blooming and things are starting to green up a little, and today, with being off work, it was a good day to get outside and get a few things done. Logan is still in Raleigh with the rest of the crowd, and Adrian is job hunting today in Winston, so Chip and I tackled a day of work around the house and in the yard. I continued the process of getting the leaves and other derbis out from around the house and clearing out the flower/vegetable beds, then went to the chicken pens and shoveled out chicken manure and took it up to the house to put in the plant beds to give the soil a boost. I cleaned out the dirt from all my pots and added it to the plant beds, then added some new dirt to the pots and planted Kristen's leftover vegetable seeds she gave me, along with some flower seeds I got from work this week. Next I hauled off the leaves and stuff and cleaned up a little around and there's still more to do, but it looks pretty good and I'm excited to get a start on some veggies to grow around the house. Hopefully, we'll have a garden, too, but I like the idea of having some plants right outside the door. I saved some flower seeds from my flowers last year and so I put out some of them, too. I hope everything comes up! After the yard work, Chip and I were pretty dirty and had to come in and get cleaned up, then I had to mop the floors from all the dirt we'd tracked in. It had rained a little and so with the dirt and the rain, we sort of made a mess going in and out of the house. So, after getting cleaned up inside, we got a bite to eat and contined with laundry and the other house chores. It's been a busy day and I'm glad to have those things underway. Now I'm ready for some of that fresh produce already! :)
