Despite the fact that it's mid April, the temperatures have felt more like early March. There have been a few false starts to spring, and one day of full-on summer on Saturday, which is when I got most of the planters for the front patio potted up and in place. It's raining again today, and chilly, but I did two more pots and got them out front so they could get nicely watered in.
Things to do: get an outdoor faucet installed. The lack of one might explain the ratty condition of the lawn, which won't be around much longer. At some point, I'm going to install a rain barrel, but right now I would like to actually be able to turn on a faucet and have water come out.
In old house news, it went on the market two weeks ago and I got several offers. I picked one, she had the house inspected and found no major monsters in the basement, so it looks like things are moving forward and soon I will only have one house on my plate. That will feel good.

Good luck with the sale!
Looking good! I spy a sewing machine !
I'm loving the front too. It's going to look so lush this summer. Hopefully the other house will sell soon.
Good luck with the sale. The front is going to be lush and inviting. Are you planting a garden where the lawn is?
Nancy, that front lawn is doomed. As is the back yard. Front yard will be flowers, maybe a little grass in between, but I'm leaning toward mulch. Back yard is all veggies, all the time.
