So much to do and so little time!  I'm almost done digging the new pond.  I'm working on the side yard to make it more private.  I want a path through an arbor, with a lot of privacy on the one side(the garage wall is on the other) and a patio in front of the arbor that's already there.
I have a variagated eunomous to plant in front of the house and 2 japanese white pines to plant out back in Joseph's woods. 
I'm soaking hyacinth bean vine seeds to plant on the fence.  They grew so well in Baltimore, but kind of sulked along in Delaware last year.  I'm hoping it was just the drought and I'll have masses of them this year.  Hmm, maybe I'll put them on a support by the fence just in case.  In Baltimore they tore down an arbor with their weight. 
Tonight, I'm going to pick my first crop of spinach for the year.  I love fresh spinach.
