In Like a Lion, or a Kitty

  March didn't exactly come in like a lion; more like a kitty, but hopefully it will go out like a lamb.
  Snow flurries overnight and off and on today, mixed with rain. I was just out caring for the 3 week old chicks and took another round bale of hay to the cattle. The ground is so saturated and mucky...no way I can get in the garden any time soon. The 2 week forecast is for nicer than it has been but mostly a little colder than average, so patience is needed.  Maybe it will be a better spring than last year, which came early and then frosted on April 18, taking most of our blackberry crop.
  We're off tonight to oldest grand-daughter Brittany's 16th birthday celebration. Grandma Rita is finishing off a fantastic, fancy cake as I write. Promises to be quite an event! Here are Rita and Brittany, on the right side, at Katie's baby shower last week.

  1. Lovely snow being spit in the air here and frosting the bushes but very little sticking. We don't want too early a spring here in TN, do we? Well, we do but we shouldn't. We might pay for it later.

    Have fun at the party!
