Spring is coming!!!

Spring is coming which means it is time to start working in the yard.  We have been doing quite a bit in the yard to get things ready for spring.  Jon has already fertilized the yard, which means we will start mowing the lawn soon. :)  I am so excited for spring.  We are excited to get our garden planted and just start enjoying the warmer weather.  We took out 4 wild rose bushes that we had out in the back yard.  Jon did a wonderful job and getting it all out, and leveling the ground.  We are still trying to decide what we want to do in that area.  We are thinking of planting a few ferns and hostas.  We will have to see what we can find.



We had two trees in our side yard that we wanted to have cut down.  We asked a couple of people in the ward if they could come and help us, and one man said he would be available.  So one Friday morning after I left for work, he showed up with his truck and his chainsaw and was ready to work.  By the time I got home for lunch, one tree was already down and the other was half way there.

Jon got back to the house to help take down the 2nd tree.  It was fun to watch him try to pull the tall limbs.

This is what the front yard looks life after the trees have been removed.

Thank you Brother Slight for all your help taking the trees down.We love the way the yard looks now.
