Front yard after doing some Spring prep work March 10th 2014

Today was just an outstanding beautiful day across the area. Sunshine was plentiful and temperatures were warm enough that people were wearing shorts. The smell of spring was in the air as well as the ground started to thaw giving us that wet soil smell. I spent the evening doing lawnwork in preparation for future gardens this spring.
