I love to collect eggs!! . Wish I liked to eat them

We used the reflective tape/streamers in fruit trees at our old place, wasn't perfect but it did help a lot.

Hopefully it will help keep the predators away.

One of my favorite ways to eat them is in a quiche.

 

[Mini Horses]

Yes. I like quiche!! Haven't made in a while but might now thanks. I'm looking at a dz a day +/-

Pound cake too. Uses a lot. Maybe some egg salad. They're so healthy & I have so many!! Given away mostly. Kids still trying to use up from last week "sharing" . Hope to dump 6 dz on a friend tomorrow.

We share the majority of our eggs too. You can only eat so many...lol

We turned the irrigation back on today. Hubs is repairing a lawn sprinkler line that we broke last year when using the telehandler to take down the trees. The thing was so heavy and the line was on top of tree roots, the weight snapped it.

Why did it have to be right at a tee...lol

We've been outside all day. The weather was perfect for spring cleanup. Had a high of 59°F.

Here's some of what we did.

Cleaned up the Lavender bed and did a little pruning on them. Weeds are already growing.

Cleaned out our boulder planter area, all of those were once where our house sits now. Still have some work to do here. I need to clean out my water feature area and try to get that going again. It's behind all of the snapdragons. Pruned the hydrangeas.

Raked out the walnut tree leaves, pulled weeds and pruned shrubs.

Taking a break from cleaning out the front planter. Hubs scattered a whole package of wild flower seeds, it became such a mess. But the bees enjoyed it.

The drip tubing didn't stand a chance against my pruning shears... It was buried underneath the mess you see on the lawn. That's why I'm taking a break.

Lovely. And the sky!

We don't have rocks here unless we buy them. Seriously.

When I gardened in Connecticut I swore the rocks were breeding underground.

It was a very lovely day!

Except for the bee stinging my husband.

They definitely breed here...lol

Your flower beds are pretty, even though dormant.
