I tend to spend several hours at a time pulling weeds and pruning rose bushes...in fact, I'm usually out there from the time I get home from my full time day job until the sun goes down - or until my family screams that they're starving.
Today is Saturday, and it's no different. Although I did get a few house things done this morning before heading out to rid the garden of crabgrass, dandelions, thistle, and clover. I only got 3/4 of the corner garden completed today. And, it's that kind of back-breaking work that is so rewarding. Here are some shots I took today of the growing things I enjoy.
Yup...wild strawberries growing under the pine trees.
Purple corabells - framed with daffodils.
A new bush? I don't remember it being more than a twig in the ground last year. Amazing new find!
Ground cover - tinges of purple in a sea of green.
I love being outside on a sunny spring day. The weed removal is not easy, and I'm not so gung-ho over it as I was last year. But, it's so rewarding to see the clean lines and beautiful perennials bursting forth after the long cold winter.
