TLC and I went outside to
PLAY!!!
But—
Dad was backing up that big
Scary
Machine.
(This was taken two weeks ago)
So, we ran back inside!
Mom told us Dad was going out to see if the rain made it
Too muddy to get back out
On the Land.
Guess what?!
Dad is BACK ON THE LAND!

Sending their little leaves in hopefulness in the capriciousness of March!

We are in-between storms.
The sunshine is crisp and delightful
The mud is starting to firm.
But——–another round of storms is heading in here again.
Sigh,
From my heart to your world,
Linda
The lawns are showing sprigs of green—the alfalfa is getting two leaf sprouts, and the weeds are thriving!
Although cold, it is starting to feel more and more like Spring.

Yep!
Those stinky kitties
Are awake and moving around.
SPRING!!! Everyone is glad!

TLC and I had a big play out in the alfalfa field
It was lots of fun
We had Run
Play
Sniff
This was while we were on a walk with Mom.
Dry dirt is just the best!!!
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mom heard another big storm is heading back in here
NO!
No more this
Or This
Or ANYTHING Like THIS
We want the farming season to begin,
which means DRY!
So, we can PLAY!!
TLC and Boo Berry
It’s the small things that make our world so beautiful!
It really is.

Spring really is coming—-really really it is
Instead of pink just before the sun sets
The sky turns purple.
Tranquil, purple whispers of Spring.

Melting most of the big snow drifts!
OH! YAY!
But the weather people are saying another Snow Storm is due in here Thursday!
Melt and warmer temps and even a drying wind is a good sign of Spring.

Is getting the logs split and into the stove!
We do it together– he lifts and splits. I take the splits and stack!
Then haul it into the house. (I like to use the rounds and the splits as a mix in the firebox)
Wood…it’s been a fall/winter/ early Spring continuing job.
