It’s supposed to freeze tonight and tomorrow night!  There go the blooming fruit trees…pears and some of the plumbs.  But the part that is the worst is the loss of the Lilac blooms again…this year.  Sigh!

Still we strung wire to open up a new pasture for Romeo.  Worked on a fence or two next to the new pasture for Romeo…yes we are always fencing some place on the farm. Hauled some old railroad ties to the house where I want to make some flower beds with them.

And today Terry started marking out the corn ground.  The little pole things you see at the side of the marker are called Scribes…one goes down on one side, then it goes down on the other side after he turns around and starts back.  Scribes are to help Terry make straight rows.

We are moving along.  Once the corn ground is marked out, he will then mark out the alfalfa field, make a couple of waste ditches and we are good to go to start water.

By this weekend.  In spite of rain or snow or freezing wind…we will be officially in the growing season.

So I say to Old Man Winter…No.  No more.  Fling yourself away and rest somewhere at the North Pole.

It’s time for warmth to stay!
