The guys came yesterday to my surprise and spent 3 hours blowing leaves off the grass into the woods and cut the grass. First of the season. It was great to see how green it is. The birds are living it too with new worms and hopefully grubs for them to eat. Not that I want grubs because they grow into beetles and they attract moles and voles, but I do want the birds to eat them. Our grass and gardens die when the moles eat there way under ground. There are nematodes for eating grubs but very expensive !!! Nature always wins.
With Douglas coming home everything seems brighter. It is almost 60 degrees and sunny and will be up to 70 tomorrow and Saturday. Perfect for gardening and walking outside. Yes I am being careful and not over doing it. I know I have to stay off the legs but I also need to exercise and get fresh air and sunshine. The dankness of winter has lifted in the sunshine and so does my spirit. It is a time of renewal and health. The trees we planted last year are sprouting buds !!! Which is exciting. I just wish I could remember what we planted. I know there is one almond, one dwarf apple and one dwarf pear. I just can not remember what is in the front yard? I think it is a maple. I also have a few banked which may survive. Birch and willow. Have not checked the strawberries yet.
All is fabulous !!!! feeling stronger every day.
