I Live In A Rural Area

Although it isn't yet summer, this afternoon was the first one of this year to feel as though it were and I was very happy to be outside. The temperature was near 75F/24C and I enjoyed doing some work in my yard. The majority of it is created by pine trees which were here long before my husband and I bought the property. I would not recommend planting them if you have the option. Lol. They're not all bad. Their needles and pine cones seem to accumulate on the yard throughout all seasons though and I'm sure that I could find easier things to do if I wanted to be out there.
It is a little surprising and depressing that the forecast has some snow and freezing nights during the next week, but that should be the end of it until next winter. My favorite weather will be here soon after that! I hope everyone has a chance to enjoy being outside doing whatever they choose.
