It was so great got to work out in the yard yesterday, temp was in the high 60's, cut back roses, cut down grasses & tall sedum and rake off some dead leaves in front parking flower bed. It was so nice to get outside and get my hands dirty.

Here in Nebraska we are finally seeing some evidence of Spring, we've had a pretty mild winter with only two major snowfalls and hope we get some rain in the spring as we will need it. We've had a major grass fire along the interstate which tells me it is pretty dry out and conditions right for a grass fire. I know the last I hear the water level was down 3 inches this winter and may be more than that in some spots, won't be long until we are out preparing the garden for spring plantings of vegetables. We are going to do raised beds this year as it will be much easier to take care of. Happy Gardening to all here in the Midwest.
