Spring has sprung a little early here at the Vicarage. It feels like we are about a week ahead.
Melanie and her girls came over to help us in the garden today.
Brenda and I made some more progress on the chicken coop.
Yesterday we lost our oldest dog, Mercedes. She was nearing her 17th birthday. This picture is one I took last fall as she took her daily stroll through the forest garden. I think it is a perfect send off picture.
What’s happening in your garden?
It is good we got so many projects done on Wednesday and Thursday last week, because winter made a return this weekend.
We did have some damage from the heavy wet snow. Today starts the cleanup.
After Brenda and I were finished with the APPLE AND GROMMETS episode the other day, the second shift came in to work at The Vicarage.
My daughter, Melanie, and my daughter-in-law, Kristine, came to clear some of the property at the back of the house to make way for the building of a natural fence and for a strawberry patch.
They had to cut out a lot of black raspberry vines, golden rod stems and barberry thorn as well as a rather nasty wild rose bush that has made its presence quite unwelcome.
Meanwhile the grandchildren relaxed inside watching Moana while I finished up dinner for us all.
After dinner I had a meeting at the church and when I got back the strawberry patch looked like this.
WAY TO GO LADIES OF THE SECOND SHIFT!!!!
