Spring is around the corner

Spent a few hours today walking in the fields with Lulu and the dogs. Checked out the garden and started compiling a mental list of stuff that needs to be done this April. Got the germination lights set up in the garage and took a look at the gardening hand tools. Start some seedlings this week. I store scissors wrapped in newspaper with a film of motor oil. Trowels and pokey things get shoved into a barrel of sand with motor oil. Everything looks great - no rust to deal with. Waited too long to prune the apple trees so I will need to do a quick and dirty prune and deal with the suckers next winter. Cherry trees look awesome but need dormant spray -- looks like we have a couple days dry weather this coming week so will take care of these chores then. Having a quick dinner (leftover spaghetti and a salad) and then off to a Water Board meeting. They keep electing me President so I keep showing up -- it's been six years now...
