Yesterday while my husband and two oldest kids were gone doing this...
The little girls and I were outside doing this...
It was the perfect day with lots of sunshine and minimal wind.
For the last few weeks I have been seeing spots of bright green trying to make its way past the dead brown leaves of last years overgrown plants.
So with gloved hands, we pulled away all the old dead stuff. I also pruned down roses. As we worked we made quite a pile of the old dead stuff. You know what else we added to the pile? Lots of these...

Tumbleweeds!
Oh how I love them.
My favorite is when I'm driving on a windy day in my big old Suburban.
I see it out of the corner of my eye, and it's a BIG one. YES! I hit it with my car...
or actually I guess it hits me.
Or sometimes the game is to dodge them. That's awesome too.
So these babies pile up here and there during the winter months. They blow in and get lodged in the rosebushes or against the fence.
Be careful, they are prickly!!

Trev and the kids returned around dinner time. Luckily they picked up some Mexican and we all scarfed it down. We then headed outside to dance around this...
And with great satisfaction, we watched our beloved pile burn.

A perfect day you say?OH YEAH.
I'm ready for more.

Sounds like you did have wonderful day. I really need to work in our yard. Bagley lawn game yesterday and mowed our yard. Spring is here.:) After we get back from Sunny CA, i will get busy in the yard and plant some flowers and do some spring cleaning inside as well.
Have a great Spring break.
