I give to you a jagged heart. For you see, for me — Spring begins today.
Always spring begins for me on the 1st of March, no matter the weather…Lion or lamb.
For most everyone Spring begins as soon as the days are longer than the nights…which is based on the equinox.
The weather has been delightful. Warm days, woodfire worthy nights…dry soil so I can clean around the buildings. Light winds.
My winter weary body is gradually building itself back up …Life is good!
Sending you love on a fine Spring day!

Tim goes with March 1 too. The shorts came out today. Actually yesterday because he said he wasn’t worrying about leap day ;-).

Calving is the new year for us…sometime just after the first of April…I’m a little jealous that spring arrives earlier for you than me.

Beautiful day here in the UK but due to turn much colder overnight with snow forecast for tomorrow. No chance of Spring here yet.

We felt Spring today here too. There was warm sun on our cheeks, and heavy coats being shed for lighter sweaters. There is a major cold snap headed in tomorrow with snow and lightning predicted…but it will be over as quickly as it comes, and then Spring will be here for real. Can’t wait. My favorite season!

It was wonderful to hear all the birds singing when we took our walk this morning. They seemed to be saying ‘Spring is in the air’.

So pleased that your winter is over. Here Autumn has begun (March 1st) and steady rain for the start – which hopefully is falling on the farms/properties ( as we call them) out west.
Winter fodder is paramount for the stock.
How is the calf population progressing – all the cows should by now have “dropped” their
young-uns?
I always get a grin with the expression – “dropping calves, lambs and foals”.
You can get vivid images of these just plopping from heights onto the ground – ha ha.
I meant to congratulate you on that white charolais calf header – it was a beauty.
Cheers and happy preparations for that great pinto crop for 2016.

And here I am Down Under, breathing a sigh of relief that the end of our endless hot and DRY Wet season is finally in sight. I landed last night in heavy, fine, dense rain, hurray, but still a comfortable 26C/78F, so not at all miserable, just beautifully wet!

Works for me! Happy Spring! I learned from an Australian blog friend that today is actually the first day of Fall there. I always assumed it would be the exact day our seasons start, except opposite, but that’s not true.
