The past couple weekends have been full of yardwork for the Johnsons. Last weekend we purchased and planted a tree out front, and this weekend we’re getting the garden all ready to go for the year. I had a cubic yard of dirt delivered yesterday to top off what went missing from last year (where does it go??). This morning I ran over to Sunbelt Rentals for a tiller and got the dirt all ready for Ana to get things planted. She’s working away on that as I type.

Kudos to Sunbelt Rentals, I was able to submit a reservation online for the tiller while I was still in bed this morning.  Much better than talking to someone on the phone!

Our grass has greened up nicely – due in large part to the first aeration we’ve had done to it (thanks www.trylawns.com), followed by round 1 of Scott’s fertilizer.  And to top it off, Ana’s Azaleas are starting to bloom.

Our neighborhood gets VERY windy, so I followed the advice of a neighbor and tied the tree down.  Rest safe, Springfield, my tree won’t be wandering out of the yard anytime soon.
