Signs of spring at the 208!

This afternoon I ventured out into the yard. It was in the upper 40's and the wind was NOT blowing. Since the snow is almost completely melted the yard is not looking very good. I thought I would see if I could spruce it up a little just in case a potential buyer comes along... Only in Idaho or maybe Wyoming would you have the snow blade on the front of the 4 wheeler and the lawn sweeper on the back. I should have taken a picture!

Bailey and I piled all of the sunflower and corn stalks up. Calling all EPR family pyromaniacs to come home this weekend and torch this pile. I will supply the marshmallows!

The snow was piled up about 4 or 5 feet in this spot. This is all that is left.

The last of the snow on the North side of the house. Yea!

After I raked the dead leaves away, there were green hollyhocks poking out.

I have spotted some spring bulbs starting to come up.

This is NOT a pretty sight...bees with diarrhea! I guess I am glad they can hold it all winter, but they sure make a mess of their hive come sping time. (Not usually this bad...we didn't medicate them in the fall as we should have)

This is one of our pussy willow bushes. The bees will be very happy in a few weeks when it blooms.

Eric will be home this weekend and the temps are only going to be in the 30's on Friday. Every weekend he is home the weather is cold. I think he prays for it to be that way so he gets out of doing my list of outdoor 'honey-dos." Actually I know he would be happy to get out and do some yard work. He is really good when it comes to the yard.

On another note...the first week the house was on the market we had lookers almost every day. Sometimes it even showed a couple times a day. Last week it only showed once and so far this week we haven't had anyone call. No offers yet, but I am confident the right one will come at the right time!
