I started this morning with plans to simply clean up after the dogs out back which spread into filling three garbage bags with weeds that were growing along and outside the fence line.  From there I realized I needed to cut back the rose bushes, so I filled two old dog food bags with clipped back thorned branches.  This past winter was so cold, that is all I can attribute it to, but I really feared my rose bushes bit it.  Instead they started growing anew from near the ground, leaving the rest looking dead.

Don't worry, I granted myself a nap this afternoon as a bit of a reward.  Time to vacuum before I park myself for the evening.
