Action Associations! :)

In an effort to be more organized, I'm beginning to associate actions with the holidays and months of the year! For instance, I associate Oct. with getting out Halloween decorations; Nov. with our Thanksgiving meal and all the trimmings; Dec. with all the Christmas activities; and Jan. with gearing up refreshed and new goals for the new year! :)

This works with gardening and yard work, too! :)

Providing we have normal weather, the time to plant the veggie garden is around Mother's Day! :)

I've just discovered there are things to associate with Valentine's Day, too! :)

The Snowdrops are in bloom! :)
The which hazel is in her full glory, spilling her earthy-citrus fragrance into the air! :)
The tulip pots that looked like they were sleeping last month, ...
Have sprung into action, in the shed! :)
All this activity is a sure sign that other plants are coming to life, too! :) Valentine's Day is the time to get serious about cleaning the flower beds! :)

Before ...
After! :)
Before ...
After! :)
And not a moment too soon! As suspected, things are pushing new growth! :)



It feels so good to have one of the flower beds clean in time for Valentine's Day! :)
My trusty wheelbarrow never looks so good as it does when it's filled to the brim! :)
Now that the bed's clean, the little bits of whimsy can be seen and enjoyed! :)
Happy Valentine's Day, Everyone! :)
