Hooray Hooray! It's the 1st of May!

I've been getting up before dawn lately. The house is quiet and I can take my time to "wake up & smell the coffee" without a bunch of jibber-jabber. That's right, I'm an early riser that doesn't do mornings. I stick to simple tasks as I wait for the coffee to kick in. By 8 am I'm usually ready for conversation.
This morning I snuck outside for a picture at just the right moment. I caught the moon shining brightly to the west & the sun rising to the east. I stood in the yard and watched the shift from night to day pass directly overhead. Birds were singing, the peepers were chirping, the air was warm & my coffee cup was full. It was a great way to start the 1st day of May!

Jason was up & out of the house early too. We still have a few job sites under snow but it's melting fast. The Pillywiggins are out & about. Our schedule is filling up. Spring clean-ups are underway!

Pillywiggins Garden Report

The last snow storm didn't seem to bother our bulbs. We have little crocus in bloom and tulips & daffodils popping up everywhere. I found a variety of bulbs on clearance last fall at Menards & can now say with certainty they were a great buy! I'll be sure to post photos when they bloom. My favorites by far are the bulbs we purchased from The Kid's school fundraiser many years ago. They're back & still going strong! 

​All of our bluebird houses are occupied - a few with swallows. If you're interested in building a few bluebird houses of your own, check out our blog post from 2016 How to Build a Bluebird House or watch our video.
