Finishing the Deck

John spent the weekend making the railing for the deck. It looks so great! I can't believe it has taken us 4 years to finish the deck. He is going to build hand railings to go down the stairs as soon as we get some more wood. I can't believe how great the backyard looks. The peas are coming up. There are little green shoots sticking above the dirt. It is so nice to see this sign of spring. The grass seed is growing and starting to fill in all of the holes we have had. Carolyn planted blueberries, but I think she planted to early because they have frozen. We put up a wall of water around them and hope that will help them come back. We are going to move them over by the deck where they will have some wind protection. We have the carrots and lettuce planted, but haven't seen anything coming up yet.
