Here are a few Spring pictures for you - stuff popping out of the ground round these parts. I'm happy to have pretty much finished my Spring raking - wherein I mercilessly comb my entire lawn, churning up old grass, pine needles, moss and weak grass. I worried about that last year, but the grass came in real nice, so my shoulders weren't too happy, but the lawn will be. I've also decided to give one of those ChemLawn-type places a try. I figure it's only a bit more expensive than doing it myself, and they'll actually apply the stuff properly. Die crabgrass! Die weeds! Drown in the wrath of my hired mercenaries of hate!

I also repainted some of the badly peeling trim on my shed - a long overdue project. Next I need a bit more mulch and some other odds and ends, but I shudder to think of what Home Depot is like on this fine, sunny Sunday.

Oh, I've also included a couple of bonus pictures of jellyfish taken at the New England Aquarium last week. We finally bought a family membership. (Hey "King", remind me that's 80 bucks I can write off my taxes next year!)
