Every Bloomin' Thing-- April

Well, it must be that time of the year again. Spring has arrived...FINALLY.

1. THE BIRDS ARE BACK-- while we were away on vacation, while we can still afford the gas, a family of birds built a nest on the back deck light by the sliding door. This year, it was a different bird though, not the usual robins.

As usual, walking by the door or out it brings fluttering, but at least so far, no fussing. The robins liked to land on the deck railing and let me know they were unhappy. I'll have to find out what kind of bird they are. Quite a bit smaller than robins.

2. CUT THE GRASS-- Yesterday, I had to cut the grass for the first time in 2008, a sure sign that spring has arrived. Just hope I will be able afford gas for it this year.

3. TREES AND BUSHES ARE BUDDING-- DAFFODILS, HYACINTHS AND SOME TULIPS ARE IN THEIR GLORY. Good to see all this after that rotten winter we had.

4. YARD CLEANUP CONTINUES-- I've been busy clearing out flower beds, removing dead branches, and trimming bushes.

5. APRIL SHOWERS BRING... Finishe dup working outside yesterday just as the rains came. It has started raining here again today.
