Will Spring ever come?
Filed Under Garden Desk | 1 Comment
Tomorrow will be the 1st of April usually by this time the snow has be gone for a couple weeks and I am happily looking forward to planting Spinach and Snap Peas. I guess this year April Fool’s is on me and my gardening. Not going happen this year. I will be lucky to get them in before month’s end. 
The picture at the left are my strawberries. They are under about a foot of snow, still. I am hoping that this week will see some melt off and that I may be able to get to them this weekend. If not I am going in anyway and start to clear the snow off of them. I took this picture this evening around 6:00pm
Damn, I just looked out the window and it is snowing again. Probably won’t do much, if it was warmer it would just be a spring shower. The temperatures are supposed to up to the 50’s by the weekend.
I got another shocker this evening when I went out to collect eggs and feed my chickens. They were gone! Nothing but feathers! Sunday morning the boys were out chasing a fox. I suppose the fox had a tasty meal of my chickens. Very stupid of me not to do something to protect them when I knew that that fox was around. So now I have to figure out if I want to get more chicks and start over again. I am going to think about that for a while. I just might wait until later in the summer to do that or I may decide not too at all.
Other than that not much is going on around here, I am heading to California the end of April to visit Carole. By the time I get back we should be will into spring and I can get started back on the garden. I was thinking since I will be traveling and that I will get a late start that I could spend the season getting things in better shape for next year. I do love the gardening, and part of the fun is all the planning and building so I may invest more time in that this year. And if I decide to get more chickens I will have to find a way to protect a little better. Stuff to think about as the snow slowly melts.

Breakup
Filed Under Winter | Leave a Comment
Our Breakup was rudely interrupted by another six inches of snow this weekend. This is getting tiresome, we still have about 1 to 3 feet of snow on the ground. I don’t think that it will melt before the middle of April. It is supposed to get into the 50’s by the weekend.
Just before it got dark this evening those big snow flakes where coming down. I don’t think that it will amount to anything and for the most part the snow that fell this weekend has melted except where there is a lot.
I have gotten interested in the primary election, which I have determined is not good for physical or mental welfare. What a dirty business it is…
