Today we awoke to new snow on the ground.

Just yesterday there was bare ground showing, with a hint of green in the grass.

By noon the snow had almost melted off the walkways. Then, at supper time, more snow!

Good thing our wood supply is holding out...

All the trees want to bud out. The ducks have started laying eggs again. We will start seeds soon. We need to have the snow melt off the pastures so we can rotate the big birds into their summertime digs and have their coops to foster our baby birds. So much here depends on the weather! We could spend time fretting, but instead, we work with what we have when we have it. This past week, we had company to help us enjoy the snow.

Babysitting while momma had business in the Cities.

Lilith’s favorite outdoor activity was watching the ducks. They are a cheerful lot, even in snow and muck. Perhaps especially in muck!

Bring on the mud!
