It's been awhile since I last posted but we've been enjoying a week of above  average temperatures and it's got me thinking about my garden. I've been looking at pictures of the yard from last year and pouring over the seed catalogs that have been appearing in the mailbox.

We have a few projects lined up for the spring...the most important is to replace the deck. We have been humming and hawing regarding size and the only constant is that we need to build a privacy screen on one side so that we can sit on the deck and not look down into our neighbors dining room.

I think J would like to pull up more grass and add more garden but we found we couldn't use the veg fast enough. If we do, I would like to add some decorative features like stepping stones and small gravel paths to the compost bin and rain barrel.

Oh, so many plans.
