The weather turned nice last week, prompting the grass to start growing.  Since we moved in in 2004, I have done nothing to encourage my grass to grow, yet every year it grows vigorously starting about the second week in April.  Sometimes, if it is a dry summer, by August things slow down.

All in all, the yard is in pretty good shape.  I took a day in February, after the double blizzard, and picked up all the branches.  The white pine lost three large branches.  Today, I got out the trusty Toro Lawn mower and cut the grass for the first time.  There was a lot of leaves stick and other debris that I mulched up too.  That is going to make excellent compost.

Before things get too far along, I need to repair all the damage done when installing the solar system last November/December.  Basically, I need to rack out all the stones and reseed a around the footings and where the trench for the conduit was dug.
