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.

We have two sweet gums, too. What a mess. And they get stuck in the dogs paws and make them cry. My snowdrops are up but they’re not going to open yet, still too cold. I can’t wait for some warm weather.
Such a thrilling moment when you realize the first Spring flowers are starting to appear!
Spring will be here before we know it and I cannot wait!
