Spring is finally here in Minnesota, and you can finally see how your yard looks after the winter.  Many people are supprised at how their yard looks, and all of the work they have to do.  Hopefully in the fall you did some things to get ready for winter, so in the spring there would not be as much work to do.  One thing that you could do now is to get out the rake and rake your lawn.  This will help clean up the yard and get a lot of the dead grass out leaving space for healthy new grass to grow.  If you have done this already the rain the last couple of days has helped your grass green up real nice.  You should also clean up around your bushes.  Make sure to get all of the leaves and dead sticks away.  This will be good for the health of the bushes, and it also looks a lot better.  You might want to also plant flowers. This will add a lot of color to your home.
