Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy!


Boy, I was humming this old John Denver song pretty much all day Saturday and Sunday!
We had the most beautiful weekend,
and I spent as much time outside as possible.


The animals were also happy to see the sunshine.
It's been cold, rainy and cloudy for weeks on end now
and a warm, sunny weekend was such a treat!


I did some work in the chicken yard.


Johnny Cash, my daughter's stock show pig, is looking good.


The kitties loved laying in the sun all day!



And I spent several hours taking care of this sad mess!
I planted early spring plants last February,
but then after the car accident, I never got to plant anything later in the spring
like I usually do.
For almost a year, my garden beds have been sadly neglected.



That, my friends, is the result of a lot of work!
But, oh the satisfaction. :-)


I weeded four of my six beds before I tuckered out.


I plated one bag of seed potatoes,


three onion sets,


carrots and radises, 


and one whole bed of salad greens. :-)
I'll weed the other two beds soon.
They're reserved for herbs and tomatoes.


I had plenty of company while I worked.


Oh, how I love my Daisy girl. 
Man's best friend indeed. :-)


How has the weather been in your neck of the woods??

Your beds look great. I know how much work that is. I still haven't gotten to mine, but it's on my list.

And, I'll always remember how you offered to come weed them for me after the accident! I said no thank you, because I just knew I would be able to get to them later in the spring, but I think you knew better than I did that it probably wouldn't happen. ;-)
