Spring is coming - finally!

After a very long winter with over 100 inches of snow it seems that spring is slowly making its way to Abigail's Inn. The true signs of spring are that the 10 ft snow pile in the backyard is melting (should all be gone by June), the crocus have bloomed by the library and the swamp weed is alive in the side yard, much to my chagrin.

Another good sign that spring is here is that the temperatures are warming and the days are much longer. I think we currently have 12 hours of daylight which should help in getting the rest of the plants and flowers blooming.

Kipp and I are planning our outdoor priorities. Cleaning up the backyard where the willow tree was taken down after a fierce storm in November and raking and weeding the side yard in preparation of planting new flowers and shrubs. Hopefully, we can get all of the work done before the busy season hits.
