Getting a Start on Spring Break

Second day of Spring Break 2013! Time for a little yard work before quilting this afternoon. Yesterday I rescued my oldest granddaughter from a week of boredom and chores at home. Chores at someone else's house is always more fun! So she can now help me clear a few weeds that survived the mild West Texas winter and clean up the yard. My neighbors will be happier with me I'm sure.

LATER..Too windy and cool for yard work this morning. Guess I'll head on over to Tractor Supply and Ace Hardware to pick up mulch and various other supplies in the hope that the wind and chill goes away this afternoon. 

A Little Bit Later...Wind died down. Granddaughter #1 helped carry mulch bags, weed, put down cardboard layer, rake mulch and just generally helped out. Two-thirds of the front flowerbed covered. Back to the store tomorrow for more mulch and gardening gloves. 

Finished with the weeding and mulching. Now kill a few strands of grass peeking out near the border and to add some plants. Thinking of adding some big pots of flowers or greenery. Maybe some decorative grasses? Hmmm....
