I do have all kinds of plans - it might be premature to call them a 'to-do' list. A plan seems so much more innocuous. So here are my plans for my (and my hubbs) spare time this year.
1. Clear the scraggly brush in the front yard, open it up to more sunlight.
1.a. Consider the area for a veggie garden.
2. Pick up the leaves, spread the remainder of the mulch from last year. Order more.
3. Take the cut tree detritus in the wooded lot to the dump.
4. Put up a screen in the side yard *combination vegetation and fencing.
5. Widen the front walk beds.
6. Start annuals from seed in the basement.
7. Direct sow annuals from seed *based on cultivar tolerance.
8. Finish the floating deck.8.a. Lay out a patio at the base.
9. Move the playset.
10. Research the best time to move dogwood trees. Move the trees.
11. Create a rainwater collection system.
12. Clean up the compost area and use it more often.
13. Fix the parking area, layout with crushed stone.
14. Create walk from driveway to front porch.
15. Move the evergreen shrub from the front bed.
16. Grow the shade beds.
Of course there are the non-gardening plans that surround getting in shape and losing that baby weight, but I won't bore you with all that crud. Gardening and home improvements seem so much easier and controllable. As for the controllable stuff, I'm sure this is just the tip of the iceberg, and I'm sure there will be more to come.
Next...adventures in seed. I'm determined; plan item #6 is soon to be checked off.

Anytime you want a helper, give me a call. And I think the less lawn, the better! There were no lawns when the Puritans arrived...
