I finally got out into the garden for the first time in what feels like forever, and after three hours I was capital D done. My endurance is shot, and I'm totally out of shape.
I did manage to prune the roses back, pulled a couple weeds, planted trilliums, and hacked down the old asparagus growth in anticipation of my very first harvest. The asparagus has been allowed to grow over three summers, I am anticipating a lovely harvest - which reminds me, I need to pick up a couple bags of poop at Agway. :)
So, what do I do about the winter induced malaise? Well, this morning was nice enough for a mile-plus stroll along the Hudson River waterfront before work, I'm glad to say.

Can't Wait!!
Waiting for the photo studio to post the pictures of our wedding is killing me. How did people ever wait weeks for proofs to be available, and then months for the finals to come back?
I also can't wait to get out into the garden. There are spots that I'll have to leave alone to avoid compacting soft earth into brick, but I can definitely start pruning the roses along the driveway, and doing cleanup along the walkways.

Garden Girl is now Mrs. Broccoli Boy
So, we got hitched over the weekend. Yes, I know, "pics or it didn't happen" - I'll work on that, OK?
We're running about a month behind in the garden. Crocuses and winter aconite are just starting their bloom. Daffodils and hyacinths are poking up greens. Will get the camera out this weekend and see what I can catch in bloom.
That Japanese maple I was worried for may yet make it. I have to make sure to put some sort of sealer in the crack and put some screws in so that the split doesn't get worse, but it doesn't look as bad as it did when the snow was still weighing the branches down.
I held off pruning the roses until after the wedding so that they wouldn't turn me into a mess of bloody scratches - those things can get through even thick leather gloves!

Can I tell you I'd rather be out there gardening than anything else, but that it's far too cold to do so? I hear tell there's supposed to be a nor'easter starting this afternoon with 1-3" of snow overnight.
Oh, and the forecast has 70% chance of rain on our wedding day.

There's still time to run, right? KIDDING! It's totally the last thing I'd want to do at this point.
Everything is falling in place, and it's going to be an AWESOME wedding! Even if things don't go off exactly how I've envisioned, it will still be AWESOME because friends and family will be gathering together to celebrate our marriage, and that's the important part.
And the folks at work threw me a surprise bridal shower... totally surprised! I hate surprise parties.

Trying SO hard not to be a Bridezilla, but I find that I'm getting rather anxious about small details that are not within my direct control. If you have to deal with me at all within the next week and a half, please be patient with me. It'll all be OK come noontime on the 29th.
