Spring is finally here

So it looks like the weather has finally turned around. What this means around our household is yardwork. We have already cleaned the sidewalk of creeping ivy and grass and things (don't want anyone to slip and fall on their daily walk!). Every weekend we've got some project or other - last week it was overseeding the lawn and covering with dirt. We're lucky (or unlucky) enough that we do all this ourselves and don't hire gardeners or anything (somewhat unusual in Marin). On the plus side, with the nice weather, we are back in our habit of walking every night after dinner for about 1/2 hour.
