It wasn't as cold this morning as it has been. the sun is shining and they say it will hot about 80. My morning school bus route was a short one, only 2 kids rode today out of the 7 I transport. So i tool my son to Agway and picked up some more cedar mulch, top soil and compost. I hope that if I am not too tired tonight I will get some things done around the yard. We are expecting rain this weekend and that makes for little fun outdoors.

My TRACTOR TIRE arrived last night. I asked the family of one of the kids that rides my bus if they had any old tractor tires and they had plenty (since they have a dairy farm) and they brought it up to the [house last night. Now I just have to fill the monster thing and decide what to plant in it. I know I am going to put in some tulip and daff bulbs in the fall, but am mulling over what to do with it right now. i might do a red/white and blue annual tire. I plan to paint the tire white, so that would look nice.

I have been going through some of my disks and have found more picture to post.

Here is our little pine when we first planted it in the spring of 2006.



Here is what the tinman looked like when he was brand new.



Here is the bird feeder mounted on the top of the trellis for the honeysuckle. I have noticed that this is now about 3 times the size it was 2 summers ago.



My husband is English and his mum and dad brought over these cute Footie Gnomes:



My husband researched and then built me 3 different types of rose trellis, climbers:







Here is one of the 2 cold frames my husband built me last summer. This summer we hope to get a start on a greenhouse!



My son loves to be outside exploring the garden and nature. He will be 5 this July.









Well off to get ready for the rest of the day. I am going to wander around the yard later and see if anything has started to grow. Everyone have a great day!

Your yard is just waiting for Spring to come soon and from the looks of the grass it wont be long now.
