Spring is Springing in Vermont

What a great week I've had !  Took a day to bring my two Granddaughters shopping , out to lunch and to the movies. We had the most fun! I love spending time with them! 

A couple great days at the gym and my usual , trip to the laundry mat ( i know people wonder why I like doing that but when you live alone to me its just another way I can intermingle with people and I think thats great!)  

I had lunch with a friend on Monday and another friend on Friday!  I met another neighbor and her son and visited with a couple others, I live in such a friendly neighborhood! 

I started spring clean up since the weather started warming up, One thing about it I sure have plenty to do! I am doing my best to just think about cleaning up around the driveway for now since otherwise it would be overwhelming as nothing has been done to this property in ....20 years! But I'm up for the challenge! Luckily its just a wee bit under and acre so not TOO overwhelming .

Whiskey hangs around with me , Montgomery has to be hitched on his run or he will RUN. Once my spring clean up around the driveway is done than I'll get started on the front yard and put up a fence for the dogs.

 So one part is done I stacked a cord of wood lots of it just junk but will be good for campfires once I get it covered up. I already invited my neighbor Midge to come over and sit by my campfire anytime she sees one burning. She's a nice lady and a widow just like me.  We seem to always have plenty to talk about which is probably because we have that in common. I still need to clean up the wood thats frozen to the ground and want to cut those two small trees down , I won't rake though as all those leaves will keep the grass from growing! Reminds me of that time my family and I thought we would do a nice thing for my Grandfather at his camp that my father eventually owned. We raked all the yard and bagged the leaves to bring to the dump. He made us put them all back because he said he didn't want the grass to grow and have to mow the grass on his vacation..:) 

So all in all its been a great week, I still smile when I take the last corner and see my little house, I love it and honestly If the chickens weren't living in here I wouldn't even mind living here just the way it is. But getting it fixed up will only make it better and I can do all the creative things I want to it because its just all mine..:)
