This afternoon we headed outside to enjoy our beautiful day. We whipped our main flowerbed (in the back yard) into shape. We trimmed off the dead branches and pulled out all the leaves. It feels nice to have that finished!
We also hung a bird feeder in the crepe myrtle in our front yard flowerbed. That bush/tree is right outside my bedroom window. Dad thought it would be fun for me to sit at my table and watch the birds in my very own bird feeder.
Mom has been dying for a few flowers in the yard. We still have about 6 weeks of potential frosty nights, so we managed to hold her back to just a few pansies.
We also got two new chairs for our tiny patio. The others were old and looked it! Tomorrow Mom plans to do a little reading while sitting in her new chair watching Jack and me play.
And here's the part of the yard we did not get to. We've still got a lot of work to do in this area. It's Mom's cutting flower box (left) and her herb box (right). Yikes!!! It's full of dead winter junk! In the herb box, we were happy to find some fresh chives popping through ground, and we were majorly excited to find our lavender and rosemary bushes made it through our extra cold winter.
We've got some nice days coming up, so we'll get cracking at cleaning up the last two boxes. Hopefully by that time frosty nights will be a thing of the past and we can plant our seeds and seedlings.We are ready for spring!!! Hurry, hurry, hurry...and then stay for a long time since we're not fans of summer at this house. :-)

I'm totally jealous that you are doing this in March! But it gives me hope that spring will be here in Colorado too...one of these days. Love the pansy's - they are so pretty and cheerful!
Love, ML
How fun that you get to garden in warm and sunny weather! Those last two boxes will spiff up in no time, you'll see. The beds you have already cleaned look so beautiful and ready to burst into bloom! Yay for Spring!
