Was the Groundhog right?

They say the groundhog saw it's shadow last month and I guess that means an early spring (???). Well spring weather has suddenly hit northwest Indiana this week. Yesterday temps were in the 60's and today they will get up into the 70's. All of the snow finally melted. I took a few minutes yesterday after work to walk around my new yard and have a look at what is growing/coming up. Lots of bulbs and perennials starting to peek through the cold damp soil. I even had my first blooms - little snowdrops in the back yard. The next weeks should be fun watching things grow and bloom!

Have been working on getting the old house thoroughly cleaned - we need to get it up for sale. It's just so hard to find the time to do everything when I work full time. I have to really nag Bill a little to get him going on things. He is a worse procrastinator than I am. He will be going up to Michigan for work on Sunday and will be gone for a week! He really needs to help me get that house ready now!

We still have unpacking to do at the new house too beside the normal chores of dishes and laundry. I have to admit I have not been lazy during the past week. I am determined to stay motivated and not slack off on things. So far it's been going pretty well.
