One Cannot Deny that Spring is Finally Here
The pathway to our backyard
One cannot deny spring is finally here with the smell of the yards being mowed for the first time. Dennis hit the rider lawn mower this forenoon and kept at it as there is a bit over an acre that we keep tidy. I, on the other hand, was spending time in the four season porch that we have added onto our detached garage. We do use it twelve months out of the year. Nothing says escaping cabin fever more than having a bit of quiet time in the porch. Prior to my surgery, I worked hard to get the porch ready for viewing the yards and gardens by getting the windows washed. As I whiled away a few hours in the porch I had a panoramic view to the north, east and west. When I grew weary of being inside I relocated to the patio. The photo I have included shows the porch and patio when it has come into its own.
These first weeks of spring is all about watching and waiting to see how many perennials have made it through the winter and how many annuals will have to be tucked in here and there for good color. Dennis and I always kid each other that we lease the same cabin for the entire season, year after year. It really is a sweet place to heal and enjoy the sites.
