A beautiful sound


I heard the first return of the geese yesterday afternoon! They were landing in a nearby pond. What a great sound to hear. I thought they'd get a rude awakening this morning as we were supposed to get 4-6 inches of snow overnight and throughout the day. But this morning, we woke up to only 1 inch with the storm retreating the rest of the day. I guess they know what they're doing!

That's my kind record!


Today we're supposed to hit a record high of 55 degrees! After months and weeks of record LOW temperatures, this is exciting news around here. We're all getting spring fever and looking forward to things to come. Last night was the first night in a long time that it didn't dip below freezing. That's really good news for our driveway. Hopefully with the warm weather today and tomorrow we'll get down to gravel.

Next step is getting set-up to start some garden seeds indoors!
