The weekend, other than soggy start to Sunday, was beautiful! Started working on spring chores in the barn: fixed fences, schmoozed with the horses (they thought I had moved away, I guess) and got the goats temporary outside area opened up. The pigs and chickens were enjoying bunches of broccoli (thank you, Reading Greenhouse!) and the ice is almost gone in the outside pens. Clean up has begun!
Monday is predicted to be in the 70's and windy. By the time you are reading this on Thursday, we will be shoveling out from a snowy mixture. At least that is what is on the weather forecast this morning. Sigh.
April 12 was opening day for fishing in Vermont. How did the first weekend of the season go? I haven't heard any reports or seen any fish pictures posted yet.

A sure sign of spring just landed on my computer. The first lady bug of the season! I hope they don't freeze on Wednesday! My most sure sign that spring is here I haven't heard yet - the peep frogs. However, Bette Jo Esty said she heard them this weekend and found a bunch of pussy willows on her walk with the dogs!
I guess Old Man Winter is still ignoring the messages from Mother Nature. Eeeeekkk! Hopefully that doesn't mean more snow for us!
