Spring is on the way...

I'm thrilled to see my tulips peeking out to say hello...FINALLY!! I'm also happy that the crazy squirrels in my neighborhood managed to leave most of my bulbs alone. It's so nice to see signs of life poking up through the ground. I can officially say I'm ready for spring and summer it was a long cold winter here in Madison. The not so great trade-off is the start of my Spring allergies; enough with the headaches and congestion already! I have yet to start any of my Spring yard work and boy do I have a lot to do. Most of the landscaping outside my house requires some maintenance and I think after 4 years in this house I'm finally figuring out how this green-thumb business works. As a first time home buyer a few years ago I didn't realize all pruning and clipping that goes into having a house, but it's nice to get outside and welcome the new season even if it does require some grunt work. Bring on the sunshine; I'll show some more pics when they pop I can't wait!
