rain

the snow didn't melt as fast

as we thought it would

with the higher temps

and rain,

the past couple of days..

Sunday and Monday

our temps were around +10C

yesterday we had a day of rain..

today's temp was around +5 C

it was cloudy and gray,

with some rain,

the ducks sure enjoyed the rain yesterday



today was drier

and a bit brighter

you can see all of the wishing well,

that sits on the well cover

there is still a fair amount of snow in the fields

the banks alongside of the road

are melting further back each day

which makes it safer to walk along the road again

so far,

the septic bed is the only spot

in the front yard

that the snow has melted off

... it is nice to have the driveway

clear again

the areas that Ron plowed

are down to grass..

and puddles

the areas that he didn't plow

have a bit of snow left on them

the cattle area is getting really mucky

the banks around the house

will be around for a while

the birds were enjoying another snow-free area today

Oreo's fur gets rough looking during the winter,

from her going under the henhouse..

her back scrapes along the metal edges of the walls

as she squeezes under the edges

and it gets worn off...

Charlie doesn't come out too often during the spring..

he doesn't like the mud and muck
