I haven't started looking at the seed catalogs yet, when I do it's sure sign that winter is getting tiresome. It's been a good winter, cold and plenty of snow. I hate rain, fog, mud and brown in wintertime.
Everything is frozen and I'm going CRAZY

Well, you wouldn't like it here either. It's foggy this morning with rain/mud forecast for most of the coming 7 days. I'm getting so that "rain" is a good forecast as opposed to freezing rain, sleet/snow etc. Now the question is what to plan (buy seeds) for my usual garden??? The early crops will be late..........then the Kansas sun comes on strong.
Cheers,
Mike

I hate ice here, have about two inches-havent seen my solar panels in two weeks. Doesnt make sense to clean them off because we get snow about every week.

We are finally coming out of our share of the PV. Been 15-20 below norms all Febr, set record for 2nd most snowfall in Feb everywhere. Just looked at the temp. 41 and the drive is beging to thaw all the ice pack, snow banks settling down. Burned more wood this year than I ever have, actually ran out of all the wood on the porch and in the woodshed - that never happened. I am now burning wood from my outside stacks, covered in snow ice. And that is odd as we had no winter at all, temps well above norm, until Feb rolled in.
Fell on the ice yesterday, thought I had busted a rib but a thorough checkout at the clinic showed only bruising. I can breath deeply again today. Xray tech said they have been flooded with people coming in because of falls.

Good Lord - there was mud yesterday afternoon. Somewhere - at least my Chocolate Lab, Olly, found it. I had no idea it matched the color of his coat so well. Until I went to pet him. And stink - PHEWWWWW..........
Are you sure that it was mud? My last dog used to like to roll in moose offings, getting it all over her neck; then would come rub against me so that I would reach down to pet her- right where she had rolled.
One day I gave her a bath before heading for New York; I thought "good, she won't be able to find any moose crap to roll in. That lasted about 1/2 of a day... I was sitting by a stream eating my lunch and looked over to see her rolling in something. She had found a nice pile of otter dung, which makes moose smell like roses.

The few moose we have here stay over on Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge - where they are supposed to be. The cattle are still being fed in their feed pens. Later when the first green grass appears - I will have to watch carefully. Olly will surely enjoy rolling in that fluorescent green liquid cow pooo that it creates.
Every spring my dogs would find that liquid pooo - you could hear them coming from afar. Time to roll and romp with their master.
The more I jump around trying to avoid contact - the more they think I'm enjoying the game. Jumping, dodging, yelling - I play the games well.

You have to have a burn permit, correct?

Dogs rolling in "stuff" is their equivalent to "pull my finger". Ours love dead snakes.
Yes, we need a permit. Depending on the ground conditions and the town they are easy enough to get. Apparently not as easy as in Arizona,though, mg brother is still bent out of shape because two years ago the FD told him he could only burn certain things; no PT or old painted wood allowed.
