He said Spring was coming. That is a nice change this year.

And, he may have been right. We already saw a week of 50 degrees, a 61 degree day, and a 70 even showed up. Needless to say….no more snow or ice around here. In just a weeks time, the driveway at the farm went from knee deep to bare. The best part is that during this warm week, I finally fixed my dad’s snowblower. That’s right, in Spring, after all the snowfall. Obviously, we used either the blade or the 4′ blower on the tractor all winter.

A few Spring highlights:
–Corn Crib is nice and dry. No piles of snow in it this year. Mainly an issue in the greenhouse, but the windows work
–The windows do work, well. I’ve noticed up to a 20 degree temp gain on sunny days in there.
–House in town has a dry basement so far. Not even a peep from the sump pump
–Strawberry plants have turned green, and are still mulched.

Garden catalogs have been popping up. Time for some shopping. I have done a few small projects, but nothing newsworthy to report yet. Time to thaw out the farm and it’s blog.
