This is the day...

Hello friends!  I'm happy to see you!

Here we are!  The middle of March.  I hope you are doing well and it is starting to feel like Spring.  Even though some of you are still getting snow it won't be long before the trees will be full of leaves and the grass will need to be mowed.  Our weather has been all over the place but I expected it.  We really only had one real bad cold snap with a lot of snow and some ice but overall, since the beginning of Autumn, our weather has been much warmer than normal.  I hate to think of the bugs and snakes that will no doubt be in abundance this year.  Time to sharpen the hoe and load the gun.  I don't do snakes and since there already seems to be a lot of mice and moles already out, it is only natural the snakes will follow.  No walking around, outside, in sandals or bare feet!  LoL...now that you have that mental picture to take you through the night.

Our trees started budding early and put on quite the show with their beautiful blooms and then we had tornados and hurricane force winds that knocked off most of the blooms. The tender leaves were still hanging on but then we got a couple of overnight hard freezes so those poor little leaves took a beating but no doubt they will bounce back but I don't think our fruit trees will produce anything. 

That's just how it is. Living in the southwest/plains you never know what will happen. You take it one day at a time and be grateful for it.  We should be doing that anyways.  Rejoice for this is the day the Lord has made!
