Welcome Spring! There’s nothing like an April shower to wash away the dirt and grime left from the winter months; with freshness, warmth and renewal the spring air brings. The grass is turning greener and there are sights of new growth popping through the rich soil with each passing day.
APRIL SHOWERS
Pitter patter rain drops
Falling from the sky
Here’s my umbrella
Hold it high!
When the rain is over
And the sun begins to glow,
Little flowers start to bud
Then grow, grow, grow!!!
Whether you dream big or small, now is the time to start thatyard clean-up in preparation for your new plantings. Your first task is to pick up after old man winter. Invest into a good rank and pruning shears. Have disposal bags on hand; then roll up your sleeves and get busy.
A through spring yard cleanup readies your lawn and landscaping for summer and can save you problems down the road.
