Finally...

Finally, I can feel Spring. I can almost smell it in the air.

You know what made my day yesterday? It was 71 degrees, sunny, and I put on my flip flops for the first time in months, and slipped them over my toe nails I'd just painted with this:Its Diamond Strength, Lavender Marqui colored. Remember? I love Lavender ;) And after all, diamonds are a girl's best friend!

Its actually been nice here all week, and my husband and I have been crazy busy working in our backyard. We started with a yard full of weeds, that doesn't drain. So we've been putting in a drainage system and it is A LOT of work! Much more than we ever anticipated haha. We have plans to put in some shrubs and other plants and flowers.
I'm also doing a veggie garden this year! So far I have jalapeno peppers growing, tomatoes, and basil. They were all started inside the house from seeds. I'll also be doing cucumbers and dill, but you are supposed to actually start them outside, unlike the others I already have going. So we'll see! I am super excited about the prospect of having my own veggie garden!
And what else? Oh, we've ripped up our bedroom carpet this weekend and we're having new carpet installed this week. Therefore we have our bedroom furniture scattered everywhere upstairs so we could remove the carpeting, and its a disaster! I can't wait until this process is all said and done! That's for sure! We'll be sleeping in the guest room until we can put our bedroom back together.
How have you been getting ready for spring? Any yard work or spring cleaning?
