A good day to be outside!

The weather felt a lot like spring weather today so I couldn't miss this opportunity to get outside for awhile. So I did a bit of yard work.

Here is the side I worked on. I started out trimming the rose bush. Then I just kept going by cleaning out the rocks, leaves, and dead branches from around the bush.....and kept going. Before you knew it I was throwing old dirty rocks in the garbage and taking out the old ground cover and throwing it away as well. Then I raked up the dirt to even it out and make it look better. I think the pictures are a little dark because my battery was about to die. If you click on the picture to make it bigger you'll notice we have tulips sprouting up already thanks to my friend who planted them for me last year.

Here is the other side that I didn't get to today. That will have to wait for another day.

Garrett even came out after he woke up from his nap and wanted to help. He wore those yellow gloves and helped me rake the dirt and pick up rocks and leaves. After we finished he discovered the little trampoline and started jumping.

Then realized the big one was better. It's nice for him when he's the only one jumping. No one to bounce him down.

This was taken a few days ago. Jack and Garrett love to play under the kitchen table. Just had to share this because it was too cute.
