hello spring

It's raining again but moments before it started pouring, I was doing yard work so I got to enjoy the lovely spring weather before it started pouring.  I even screamed out "hello spring".  Since the first day of spring, I've been doing spring clean up here and there.  I am not there for extended period of time but removing those leftover leaves and etc from fall was very helpful. It was nice to see the greens sprouting out after I removed more fallen stuff from last year or this past winter.   

Mother earth telling me here is another year for you to be more successful with your gardening effort.  I put some plants in for you, if you no want and identify them as pest and/or weed than please remove them yourself.  Don't be too ambitious and remove one type of weed at a time and not all.  

I was focus in my weed removal in previous years, as a result one pest has taken over and that's the pest I like. I don't care that my mother dislike. Now I get grass, plants that others might want to remove from the yard and existing pests that I will focus on this year. 

I am still learning to use the lawn mower. Last year, I set the dial too low so I think I scrapped grass off everytime I mowed the lawn.  I didnt haven to mow the lawn too much because of the thinning. I was too lazy to change the dial.  It ok now coz I adjusted the setting recently so now when I mow, it won't be too low.

I finally suffered a teeth accident during a short bike trip

I haven't bike rode for a long time because, once again, my bicycle is not in tip top condition.  If you try to ride my bike, you might end up with a twisted back like me because the steering wheel is twisted.  Anyhow today the bike ride was a success.  I like to do strength training during my bike rides so I carry my bike some time.  It was slippery during one of my climbs up a slope, so I slipped and banged my teeth to the bike and cut my lips in the process. Luckily I can still eat and drink. It was small injury, but prevented me from eating at my destination.  I was scared so I rode home instead of relaxing with my pear and cold cut at my destination.  Strength training is great!  I am glad it snowed a little last night. I was riding on slippery road conditions the entire morning.  It was nice watching the moon and seeing the colour of the sky changing slowly as the sun rises.

I left the house at around 5am. It was beautiful Sunday morning and still Is!  Hope you have a great day!
