Spring has Sprung!

Finally, after a long cold winter, the temperatures are warming up and the snow is almost gone. I was worried about the bulbs that I had planted last fall but the crocus are up and blooming and the daffodils are poking through the soil

Today I went out and pruned some lower branches of a young oak tree and a few branches of our apple tree. I also picked up quite a few branches that our brittle birch trees lose every winter - what a mess! Hopefully I will get out again tomorrow and prune a few more trees and shrubs.

The pond is almost thawed out and I saw one of the fish swimming around yesterday. Can't wait to "mess around" with the pond. It's never finished.

Happy Gardening!
