Busy Spring!

The weather has been just beautiful this week.  I have been trying to get some spring cleaning done.  I worked on my closet today and so far have five garbage bags of clothes, shoes, purses and other miscellaneous stuff ready for donation.  Still a lot of stuff in that closet though!

I also started painting the front door of the house.  It used to look like this.

And now it looks like this.

I haven't removed the tape from the handles because I think I'm going to put one more coat of paint on it.  I've already put two coats on.  Haven't even started painting the shutters yet.

I've also been doing some yard work.  I dug up several bushes that had died.  There are a couple more that need digging up but I wasn't strong enough to get them out of the ground.  Doug will have to do that.  I'll be replacing those bushes soon.  Doug has been cleaning out his shop, getting rid of a lot of old Hilti stuff he'll never use.  Guess spring has put us in a cleaning mood!

All kinds of signs of spring!  The iris are one of the first things to bloom.

This clematis is an early bloomer too.

We caught this little creature who has been tearing up our yard.

A cute little armadillo!  Doug took him out to the Natchez Trace and released him, hoping he doesn't find his way back to our house!

I added a little spring to the back bedroom too.

I love this time of year!

Please keep my niece Courtney in your prayers as she will be delivering baby Duncan on Saturday.  They are going to induce her.  The doctor says he's already 9 pounds!  I plan to be there for the big event.  I can hardly wait to meet him!

Have a wonderful weekend!
