What to do after Winter...

I actually don't mind winter as long as it is not brutally cold.  I do find though that I get anxious when it come right down to the end or around the month of April.  I want to get out there in the yard and start messing around the garden and removing anything that reminds me of winter unless there is a lot of snow around. 

This year I am trying to figure out what to do with my big vegetable garden area.  I am thinking of splitting it in half.  The back half for my vegies, since my husband doesn't really eat them and then using the front half as a play area for my grandkids and great-grandkids.  I will leave the fencing up to keep it in a more protected area and to keep critters out. That means that I am going to have to invest in outdoor play things.  I wish I lived close to all of my babies.... that way I would become a daycare just for my family.  This year I will be picking up Graycen and Parker to bring them up here to stay for a week.  I will involve them with what I can do to make it a fun play area which means we might have to do some garage sales to find things.  I actually starting to get excited about this plan.
