It feels so close
and yet so far away with the temperature at a chilly 35F. At least it is no longer below freezing.
I can’t wait to start tidying up the garden, trimming the hedges, and deciding what to plant in my veggie garden. I am less enthusiastic about raking up all the seed pods the two Sweet Gum trees have dropped over the winter.
Jake is my cheerleader when it comes to that task. He loves to pick up all the dead sticks that I rake up with the seed pods.
