We have two fields of alfalfa being irrigated now…one is almost done (tonight) the other one tomorrow night.
Terry has finished leveling one cornfield, and marked it out, then packed the rows
After which, we started water on it last night. This will take several days to have this field wet, but we have begun. After the whole field is wet then it will set for a spell to dry out some. Then we plant.
Of course, there are other fields of corn to go through the 
leveling, marking, irrigation, plant process
And another hayfield. But we are making progress.
Besides helping Terry set tubes, I have been working in my yard. Two days worth of work and three more to go
And I can say—Spring has arrived in my yard!

Very cool. You are much further along in spring than Boulder. Our prune and cherry trees are blooming and will get frozen again with the coming snow. Very sad

My prune and cherry trees haven’t bloomed yet. So you are ahead of us. They won’t bloom until May
