Weather.

Thomas, I think I can safely say spring has arrived in my part of the country. The blue bonnets and Indian paintbrush are blooming, and more importantly the mesquite are budding. The old mesquite is seldom fooled. Now if it will just dry out a little. It rains, we get a few days of sunshine, then the rain returns. Its a pattern we had for a while now, and I shouldn't complain. When it stops, we will probably go three months without a drop. Sooner or later I'll get a chance to do some tractor work.

One of the geese has made herself a nest on a little island out in the middle of the pond. May have lil' goslings in about a month or so.. When I made my bus route this morning, there was a jake and 3 hens beside the road pecking grain that had blown off of passing trucks (wild turkeys) wish I had the camera with me'

Yes Thomas, he follows me where ever I go. Right now he is standing outside thew office door yelling his fool head off. He loves to be petted. He even follows me on the tractor. The pond gets smaller in the summer. Last summer it was so dry for so long, that it dried completely up. It catches run off water and and also fills up when the river rises.

Thomas, how long does winter last in NH? We will be picking strawberries about the 10th of May. The wheat fields are pretty and green. I noticed this morning that a lot of the farmers were out with the big rigs and 30 foot discs, starting getting the ground ready for planting soy beans. Wish i could E-mail you some of this loverly weather that we are having.
