Making the Cut and Taking it All Off

March!  My energy is rising as the sap in the tree.  Birds are coming back.  The earth is thawing.  Time to make the cut.

March is the time for pruning those vines.  Two days ago when I was home for lunch I grabbed my pruners by the back door and spent 30 minutes cutting voraciously on the vines on my back fence.  The pile of dead vines at my feet was a great feeling of accomplishment.

My grasses are getting their hair cut today.  Taking it all off.  Getting them ready to take off with the summer sun.  The sage and the butterfly bushes are going down!  Bushes and perennials you are next!  

Raking back the winter blanket from my beds will come next.  You can't stop spring now.  It is coming.  It is almost here.

Look out garden shed... you are next!!!
