This spring is being awful

It's been consistently cold and dreary on the weekends. But I finally got the garden beds all marked out today.

After the next round of rain, I'm probably going to try and get some seeds in the ground.

Bed expansion and more yard clean up

May is an exhausting month in the yard. The ground has finally thawed enough to start digging. Which means re-edging and my continual plot to further expand the ingress of the west fence bed into the yard

 I was able to get it out probably another 6" in some spots.

 It also means it's time to rototill the garden beds in preparation for planting seeds

We are also planning to create a new bed around our deck and utilities, largely because the dogs keep digging here. Little Miss Excavator has had to have her paws rinsed off at least 5 times so far this spring.

Finally, I snapped a photo of momma or poppa bird taking off from their nest in search of more material
