Spring is Here!!

Did you know that you can burn up to 300 calories in just a half hour of vigorous gardening? That would include raking, digging, carrying, squatting,weeding,planting and lifting,etc. I'm sure you could help me add more. I thought that I could keep up with my blog once good weather came but I missed writing last Sunday because I was gardening. I can't stay inside and my housework has suffered miserably but I try not to look at it. I also don't want to prepare meals when I am outside. I just want to stay outside. Sounds like spring fever? Well, it is. There is so much to do and so little time to do it. My window of opportunity is small. There are many things that I can do in late spring, and early summer and summer but spring is here and I must be outside. There are plants to be divided such as day lillies and hostas. You can divide them later on but it is much harder to do and to keep them alive and kicking! We spent the biggest part of our day today, cleaning up our hill, getting rid of overgrowth, weeds and plants that were just not doing well. I am so fortunate that my husband loves to garden as much as I do. We vow, each time, to keep one another on task, for walking to one spot to another to retrieve a shovel or a rake is hazardous to our project. It takes one weed, one rock out of place and it's another twenty minutes before you bring the rake back. Oh well, spontaneity is part of what draws me to gardening. Happy spring everyone, hope you are enjoying it as much as I am! Gotta go back outside!
