Welcome Spring!

How do you welcome Spring?  There are lots of ways!

These are the things I do when the weather finally stops threatening me with ice and snowstorms.

1.  Hang a Flowered Wreath on the front door.

2.  Dry clean Wool Sweaters and Coats, then put them away.

3.  Walk around the house and inspect the landscaping.  Pick up any garbage that Old Man Winter brought into the yard.

4.  Wash the winter salt off the car, if you haven't already done that!

5.  Watch for a good day to turn over the garden dirt and add compost.

6.  Plant lettuce seeds!  I just sprinkle them around the edge of our raised bed vegetable garden and rake them in lightly. The rain and sun do the rest of the work.

7.  Take a moment to admire anything green that is popping up through the ground!!  
Here are my tulips!


8.  It's been a long cold winter.  Thank God for Spring:)
