you know it's spring when...

it's officially spring in tx: we have warm days, the bluebonnets are popping up everywhere, trees are getting their leaves, kids are playing baseball/soccer. i love spring.

spring means a little more to me now that we are home owners and have a yard to take care of. (yes, i am aware that we have been home owners for 1.5 years) tim and i had big saturday plans which included, a trip to lowes, target, and home to take care of our lawn. my sole job was to pull weeds. sounds like a small task, well no so much. we have to "shrub" areas both of which hadn't been weeded since the fall. while i was weeding, tim had a bigger job of mowing, edging, and weed whipping. after that new mulch went down. we estimated 8 bags should do the trick...good estimate it was exactly right. sorry there are no before
pictures, but believe me there is a big difference.
