<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:18px">When the sun is shining, the birds are chirping and the temps are above 50 degrees. Finally, you can submerge yourself in nature again, It&#8217;s amazing, all the things you can see when spring has sprung.</p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:18px"> The past couple of weeks I&#8217;ve spent most of my time cleaning out my gardens. It&#8217;s so fun to just watch nature around you. I think all the birds and critters are loving spring just as much as us. I even witnessed some bee activity already. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:18px">While cleaning out and edging my bee garden, I kept seeing bunnies hopping and chasing each other. They ran right by me. Bunnies are so cute. Sometimes I wish I could just pick them up, or at least pet them. But I do enjoy seeing them run freely and hop from one yard to the next. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:18px">Even if the bunnies eat my stuff, I still love having them around. Something interesting we&#8217;ve found is bunnies love clovers. If you let your clovers grow with your grass, your bunnies are less likely to eat your vegetables. I guess it&#8217;s our theory. It&#8217;s our natural way of keeping bunny control haha. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:18px">You can also catch a glimpse of the tulip bulbs you planted last fall. It&#8217;s also time to start again. A time to dream and plan what the next 6 months will look like. I know I&#8217;m going to be busy!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:18px">For me, spring means enjoying nature. Planting some seeds, and cleaning out gardens. Once the temps increase it&#8217;s getting our growing area ready for some planting. Among all of that, there is edging and expanding some of my current gardens too. It can seem like a lot, but if you&#8217;re doing what you love, it doesn&#8217;t seem like work at all.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:18px"> Spring also means the rebirth of plants. It&#8217;s like seeing an old friend again. If you have some perennials in your garden you&#8217;ll know what I mean. Gardening is truly what I love. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph" style="font-size:18px">In my yard, I was so happy to see some buds on our apple tree and peach tree and some growth on our raspberry bush. Sadly it doesn&#8217;t look like our blueberries pulled through this winter.</p>
