After I got my block finished Pat and I went out and worked in the yard for a bit. I pulled some weeds at the back and thoroughly enjoyed the smell wafting from the lilacs – both ours and our neighbours. Pat did the edge trimming on the grass so I could do another lawn cut.

I also got a good start on some more detailed weed pulling. I’d been around the yard earlier and pulled the few weeds that were starting but today I was down on my hands and knees pulling up everything that shouldn’t be growing where it was growing. I got a good chunk done and the best part is when I look out the window I can see that I made a difference.

Pat also did a bit of pruning. Although the yard is dry everything is growing well. The daisies are thriving, the peonies have buds and the gladiolus are all out of the ground. Our lilac bush is almost out and when that opens up I want to be weeding under it.

I intended to spray baste a couple of quilts today but it is too breezy on the back step. I’ll have to wait for a better day but in the meantime I have lots of other things to do.
