With the sun out and temperatures nearing sixty, we have really enjoyed this weekend. We spent it mostly picking up around the yard as the snow melted. Boy, it’s shocking at how much “junk” ends up buried in the snow over winter! Will also worked on his corn planter and just about has it figured out. We have to get a couple of tires put on it as it is ground-driven but he found two “doughnut” tires he’d picked up at the dump a while back that will work after they’re mounted on the corn planter rims.<\/p>\n

Today, Bill and our granddaughter, Ava, came to pick up Buddy. We’d been dog-sitting him while the family was visiting my oldest stepdaughter, Randie, in Cape Cod. Buddy is Ava’s dog and both were sure glad to see each other! Hugs and kisses from both of them. (You’ll have to excuse the blurry photo as neither would hold still for half a second.)<\/p>\n

We’ve been seeing eagles out in our back woods all winter and Will captured a photo of one sitting down on the ground. Wow, such magnificent, huge birds!<\/p>\n

All the snow’s off of our yard now and Will went out this morning and started mulching the honeyberries and small cherries. No sign of vole damage this winter. Hooray for Mittens and the dogs! They sure love chasing voles down. Mittens catches them and Spencer eats them in one gulp. No wonder he’s on a severe diet!! He weighed over 100 pounds when I had him to the vet! He’s been stocking up too \u2026 in his stomach! — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
