The Yard

Last week the snow was almost gone, we could see a small part of our yard, it didn't look too good. Then it snowed again! So we got to shovel for the first time, turns out we will be buying a snow blower before next winter. A driveway is a lot to shovel, and on top of that we have a corner lot with sidewalks all the way around.

It has been raining since last night so the snow has melted out of the yard and here it is, in all it's weedy glory:




Here is a close up of the weeds:
Now to the lovely backyard. I think that the weed situation is slightly better, but instead we have this lovely "wading pool" that the previous owners put in. Basically railroad ties surrounding a hole they dug in the dirt. Currently I would call it a mud-hole, not a wading pool.
Close up of the mud...Thisbe has found this part of the wading pool to be quite fun.
So it looks like we will be doing some serious yard work this spring. It will be good to get outside and hopefully by the time it's warm enough we will be pretty happy with the inside of the house!
