    Does anyone have any spring projects lined up?

    We had nice weather over the weekend, so I took advantage

    So far, I've:
    Serviced my lawn tractor. Sharpened the cutting blades and greased all the fittings.
    Cleaned all the debris from the winter out of my yard
    Assembled and tested the routing table I bought a while back
    Did some work in our garden
    Uncovered and cleaned the deck furniture

    I still have a pretty extensive list to get to, but I had a productive weekend

    I split two bee hives yesterday. I have a third which is going to need some good amount of attention.

    I was going to rebuild the deck in the Fall, but that still hasn't been done, it will be the big one.

    General yard care.

    I did replace a ceiling fan in one bed room over the weekend, and plan to do the others soon.

    I have a rod which needs to be replaced in a hot water heater.

      It was very wintry this weekend; a total of 10" of snow fell and the power was out for almost 40 hours beginning Friday morning. It was winter's last hurrah, hopefully. I spent the weekend moving all my tools into a single big tool chest, sorting/organizing and cleaning it all. That felt good, it was something to keep me productive while being stuck inside.

      I've got bags of seed and starter piled next to the lawn tractor waiting for the first opportunity.
      First I'll need to do a quick cleanup of the yard as we had an unseasonably late wind storm before the snow which made a mess.

      Probably just two medium projects other than the normal stuff this season. I want to lay new gravel on the driveway and new bark in all the bedded areas.
      History will judge the complicit.

        We had several real big black cherry trees blow down in the woods over the winter. Have been working on that, cutting it up into firewood lengths, hauling it up to the house, splitting and tossing in the wood shed.
        Lots of sticks in the lawn to get cleaned up due to recent high winds.

          That is the other small project I just finished, was burning all of the limbs that had fallen since fall. Between those and a couple of small trees I kept a burn barrel going for the better part of a week.

          The wooded section of my lot is still covered in leaves from the fall. I'll take time to mow the area to mulch them up. I've tried to remove all of the stumps, roots, and rocks each year but I still manage to screw the mower up from inadvertently hitting them.

                Building a fancy Martin House with my grandson this weekend.
                He's a real bird lover.

                  Since you’ve already cleared the yard debris, the roof line is usually next. Winter ice can sag the brackets, so a quick "wiggle test" while you're cleaning them out can save you a headache during the April showers
