it’s officially spring (i)
and feels like it
and I am hoping to convince my husband to (“help me”) install the gazebo | tent | whatever it is
We have had it for years but have not used and enjoyed it as much as we promise ourselves when we take it down in the fall or put it up in spring. But this year may be different. We have already spent more time in the garden and backyard than we ever have — we are fortunate to have this space to be outdoors, away from the television where we usually watch sports. I like watching sports — but with summer being short in Rhode Island, the TV should take a backseat. It’s why DVR and streaming exist. Watch the shows, even sports, later, save the streaming for chillaxing at night.
can you tell i am not a winter lover?

Yesterday we de-stoned one of the herb beds — we did this to most beds last fall, but we still had herbs I didn’t want to disturb, so now it’s their turn. We have so much ledge in our soil that rocks pop up everywhere, even in beds that we have raised, never mind those that we dug up. There’s one more to be de-stoned, plus the flower beds (sigh), but those may have to wait ’til fall. Will see. There’s also the shed to paint, the pantry to finish, the French drain area to fix, plus the overall maintenance. I’m not complaining, just being realistic.
