Brrrrrrr still too cold.....

It was snowing this morning when I got up to go to work, it was snowing yesterday, it snowed Saturday night! Enough already.....we are ready for spring. Of course once spring hits and we all start sneezing we will be ready for summer.

Around the place I have been trying to get a jump on things. The boys and I have been trimming and cutting and making giant burn piles of vegetation. When we ignite these we get lots of cool smoke (Lorelei does not get nearly as excited about this as we do).


The grass is starting to grow so it's about time to sharpen up the blades on the mower.

Saturday was a busy one. Cody was in a chess tournament and Jon wanted to attend the local college track meet. So I took Cody into town and got him going at the tournament. He did well for being out of practice.





Lorelei, Jon and Nic (Nic is our neighbor and one of Jon's teammates) showed up in the mid morning at the tournament and Lorelei took over spectator/cheering section duties while Jon, Nic and I headed for the track meet. I wanted to see the steeple chase and the 1500 before heading back over to the chess tournament.

To be continued......
