Ahhh Spring

Spring is such a wonderful time. Hope springs eternal. The days get longer, the sun shines warm upon your back, and then you look out in your back yard and realize it is a total mess. When it is covered in snow and leaves you don't realize that there is so much disaster hidden underneath.

We have got a project on our hands. Not as much of a project as it was a year ago, but still not an easy task. We have areas that don't drain, areas that wash out to the culvert on the other side of the fence, and so much of something called "henbit" that there is more of it than there is grass in our yard. We also have Bermuda grass instead of regular grass, so it greens up really late and makes it look like it is still January here instead of almost April.

I have a misguided desire to have a "real-life garden" with vegetables and the whole nine yards. Everyone I know likes to repeatedly tell me what a terrible idea this is. That does not make me particular optimistic about the whole project. Oh well. Apparently I love frustration so much in my life that I go around looking for new ways to find it!
