We moved the tulip tree from the front yard to the new front garden bed. Hopefully the beautiful blossoms will last a bit longer now that it has some protection from the April wind and rain.
Then Audra got crazy and decided that we needed to pull out all the burning bushes along the south side of the house. Good times. She called our friends the Flynts and asked if they would take them - "sure!" so out they came.
Lastly we - uhm, I - dug out all the grass along the south side of the patio and proceeded to dig two holes. Like everywhere else, the yard would not give up the holes without a fight. I'm convinced my back yard used to be a crickbed. So it was a few scrapes across the top and then to the pick ax. Man do I love that pick ax. A few hearty swings into the ground, a few hundred stones broken loose and before you know it. Your back is smoked and you want to sit down. OR you haul out the two lilacs that are too close together (and twice the size of you) and put them into those well earned holes.
The weather was perfect for hard yard work. 55 and sunny. All in all a good start to the yard here in February. For some reason I think I should be doing something other than yard work in February -
