Spring's Work

I think spring is here.  As of today, I officially have NO SNOW in my yard.  There is still quite a bit in the tree rows, but that doesn't count.

The last snowbank.  Now it's GONE!

Also, I have irises blooming in my flower garden.  They get snowed on almost every year--you'd think they'd learn to sleep a little longer.  I also found crocuses on the hill today.

And, the wind is howling like a banshee, another sign of spring (and winter and summer and fall).

J finally started seeding on Monday evening.  When I came home from work I saw the tractor in the field with the hood up--NOT a good sign.  Alternator trouble was the diagnosis.  Not sure that blue tractor is going to last too long around here--not a favorite.  Anyway, they got it going and off he went--happily.  He had been chomping at the bit to get going and M had to rein him back a little bit.  M got started today, seeding the sandier ground with his no-till drill.  C and R are busy keeping the trucks full of seed and fertilizer and the tractors full of fuel and C is pre-spraying in his spare time.

Today was my first day of running around.  I delivered lunch to M, went around to Richland and fed C, R and J, took them to trucks that needed to move and picked them and Uncle Bud up after they moved them to take them back to town, then flagged J from Richland to his next field.  M misplaced the charger for his phone so I had to find that and take it to him and deliver the remains of lunch back to my mother-in-law.  Not too busy.  Pretty sure it will get worse before it gets better.
