Springtime Bustle

Spring is here, no matter what the calendar says! I have just gotten started cleaning out the flower beds in preparation for spring growth. I haven’t seen any buds yet, but the tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths are all well above ground now, so it won’t be long. Sap is flowing in the fruit trees. I’m hoping for a peach crop like the one I got last year—almost more fruit than I could handle or give away, and as juicy and delicious as any peaches I’ve ever eaten. Next week it will be time to prune roses. It’s a rather tedious job, but the rewards are well worth it.

Of course, it’s also good weather for cleaning windows and painting and such. Not my favorite chores (I’d rather be gardening), but having spring in the air makes them easier.
Springtime also means high school graduations, FHSU commencement, and Mother’s Day. May is a very busy month in Hays, so if you’re planning a trip here, I recommend making reservations as soon as possible. We’d love to have you!
