Get your hands in the dirt....

Plants from Milmont Nursery wait to be potted ...

Hanging baskets look skimpy now but will be overflowing in a couple of months ...

Working in the potting shed under the deck ...

Lawn furniture is in place along with the hammock for summer lounging ...

Terra cotta pots wait for flowers ...


Dirt ... spring ... planting ... sunshine ... outdoors.

The past two days in the Valley have been warm with a stiff southerly breeze ... perfect for planting and working in the yard.

The flowers bought last week at Milmont Nursery have been planted in terra cotta pots and window boxes even as shrubs and flowers in the yard are in full bloom. SWAC Daughter is mowing ... laundry is drying on the clothes line.

This is the time to get your hands in the dirt, smell the clean air and green grass, and enjoy spring in the Shenandoah Valley....

Isn't it wonderful! I could do without quite so much wind, but let's hope it brings us some much needed rain.
