Spring Training

For the past month or so, there hasn't been enough snow to require us wielding a shovel or the snowblower, but snow still covered the yard so we couldn't wield any rakes or trowels, either. So, we've gotten soft…

Today we started Spring Training—a beautiful day, following enough warm weather and rain to melt away almost all of the snow, gave us the chance to start cleaning up the yard and getting the garden ready for planting. And, since the Spring Equinox has come and gone, we put in the peas!

Now James is sitting in the rocking chair with a heating pad on his bum shoulder and the massage thing giving his back a shiatsu treatment, Casey is flaked out on the floor, and I'm whipping up this blog posting so I can get dinner started because I'm starving! More raking remains to be done, and we have to wait for the ground to thaw more before doing any more work on the vegetable garden. But our first day out was a good one:









pile of detritus














rakes













more detritus
















future peas














Di's work (and Casey insisting on getting in at least one picture)














James's work
















Blister prevention
