Here we go again

It has been almost a year..Last summer was awful..So hot.I learned alot.I worked hard on my compost piles and hoped for a new year. I have been following #gardenchat on twitter so I haved learned from experienced gardeners. The snow melted in the back yard enough so that I could put newspapers, cardboard, coffee grounds, crushed eggshells all on my garden beds. Then I covered them with compost. It is supposed to snow the day after tomorrow. I did walk around the yard and many bulbs are coming up! The most important thing that happened to me this past year, I adopted a 3 year old Newfie from rescue. Her name is Libby. She is beautiful and she has made me laugh again.So here is to another spring. I feel optomistic about this one.
