On Saturday, Kitten and I accompanied Jackie and KK to the Denver Botanic Gardens. Things are still a bit winter-sere there — the fountains are not running, much of the planting is not yet in bloom except for various seas of daffodils and tulips. A nice visit — my first in over a year — and I look forward to going back in about a month when my folks are out.
This afternoon, I did the Backyard Spring Cleanup Rake-a-palooza, chopping off winter deadwood (our roses got hit pretty badly this year with broken stems), cleaning out bits of this and that left dead from last season, and giving a good round-the-yard Round-Up spraying on weeds and patches and dandelions.
The lawn is pretty dandelion-free, but there are a lot growing in the beds this year. Odd.
Feel quite virtuous having gotten that done. Looking toward the church plant sale delivery next weekend, and the Botanic Garden plant sale in a few weeks after that.
