Signs of Spring!

The early warm up has been a welcomed surprise in MN.  We've had a two week stretch of warm weather and that means we've been busy with yard work.  On Easter Sunday Jason and I were not in our 'Sunday best', in fact we were quite dirty lol.  We were out prepping the garden, cleaning up the yard, and demoting the snow gear from the garage to the shed. 

There are signs of spring in the garden.  The strawberries are starting to pop back to life and so are the raspberries.  And somehow weeds are already growing too, but we'll just till those under.  I even have a few spring flowers coming up.

We actually started off the garden season this year with a harvest lol...I had left some carrots in the garden last summer.  We just had too many.  Well, I pulled them out yesterday and used them to bake a carrot cake for Easter.  It was a good way to kick off the garden season!
