The weather here in Utah has been unseasonably warm, while I know the people in the East are buried in snow…It is crazy! But our warm weather has gotten the spring bug in me. I have been out working in my yard, I cut off all my raspberry plants and raked all the leaves and junk out of my garden. I still need to trim all my old perennials and get the fertilizer going! But I am enjoying this beautiful weather to work in.

This year, I did not put out any Valentines decorations, so I am ready to get the spring/Easter stuff out already!

My next door neighbor gave me a table this summer that she was going to throw out. I was so excited to have it and could not wait to start working on it.
