This way or That way




 Today was an outside Monday.
Usually Monday is an office day for me, but today it was too beautiful and the sunshine was calling!
With the size of the farm, things can get a little spread out and you do a lot of walking, or biking, motor biking, quading, depending on the mud/heat factor.


I started with my nice new pruning sheers. Now, what to get at first. I did the grapes last week so what about those rose bushes...
after some torn clothes and scratched arms, the dogs and I decided that could possibly wait till next year.



Then I decided that the (very little) greenhouse needed to be cleaned out.  Everything was going OK until I got to the flats that were frozen to the ground...
after some pulling and cursing I decided that could wait until the sun thawed everything out.

OK, lets take some pictures for the blog...
Everywhere I went there was something in the shot that shouldn't be there, a broken pallet, a left over pail, etc. etc.

After all of my good intentions I decided to make a list and work from one end of the yard to the next, and not run around starting on everything at one time.



But I did get some sunshine in my day today, and Charlie and I found where those lost tulip bulbs are hiding under the turf we laid last fall!

It was a stunningly beautiful day today, and we got some gardening done also.

I wouldn't worry about the photos, they all look pretty good to me.

Love the shot of Charlie, and the tulips.
