Let the Spring Cleaning Begin........

BEFORE........
AFTER......

Now, I know I may be jumping the gun a little since they are predicting up to 7" of snow over the weekend but for right now, I'm enjoying the beautiful weather we are having.  And, what comes with spring weather?  Spring cleaning of course!!  I started the outside clean-up because, hey....why be inside cleaning and waste all that sunshine?  So Sparkles (she' very handy with the rake) and I headed to the side of the house to get rid of the ugly dead stuff to make ready for the new.  And, as you can sort of see, there is some new stuff starting to come up....just needed to be unburied.  It is now ready to plant some new flowers when the time comes.  After Sparkles found a mouse (dead in a trap) in the garage, we headed to the back yard to take care of a winter's worth of doggy doo-doo.  Since the back yard had a chance to dry out, it was not too hard for us to rake it into piles and bag it up. By that time, Sparkles was tired so we decided to park the rake for the day.  Tomorrow we take on the front lawn and give it a good raking.....just in time for the snow to cover it all up again!

Sparkles wants me to remind you to get out there and enjoy some of this wonderful sunshine!
