Tuesday Top Five: Spring Has Sproinged
Apr. 14th, 2026 05:56 pmHere are five things about the warmer weather that make me happy, or that I look forward to, every year.
1. More greenery on the trees
2. Outdoor craft markets and farmers’ markets
3. Yard sales
4. Outdoor cafe seating and picnics
5. Dog owners spending more time outside with their dogs, and giving me more time to make friends
I would probably love to enjoy any of these things with you, if we can.

Date: 2026-04-15 05:10 am (UTC)This week Whiteside Garden is giving away plants. So far I've gotten a holly and a sedum yesterday, then a clump of ferns-columbine-yellow violet today.
Friday will be Market on the Prairie at the fairgrounds. :D
We have not yet caught the citywide garage sales this year. I've only seen one advertised this early and it conflicted with another event. But it is coming into that season, so I'm watching for them. We usually try to catch the Arthur one because that's Amish territory and they put out good stuff.
