Well, if you looked outside you wouldn’t think it was spring. We got around 4 inches of snow last night and with 40 degree temperatures during the day our white dog has taken it upon himself to get soaked filthy as if it were his job.

However, our spring fever is in high gear. We have already placed a full 3 cubic yards of dirt into our new garden beds (see GECK project) and added some huge earthworms to the mix. Our 3 gorgeous apple trees have recieved some much needed pruning, so our bounty this fall should be fantastic. The front garden area is also getting our attention and is next on our list of projects (we have already trimmed back the out of control dogwood in that area). Neither of us is looking forward to the manual labor required to clean up the entire front area. It will involve totally ripping out the green weed-type foliage, along with the fabric sheathing it is effortlessly growing through. We will be placing some large cobble (2 – 4 inches) up front and adding some local grasses for a nice xeriscaped look. Stay tuned for that as it is sure to be a remarkable improvement (Check the Projects page for more information).

Here is a picture we took of the amazing sunsets we are treated to here at 2061 Tunis. Enjoy!
