Starting to see a few patches of bare ground on the south facing side hills and under the trees. Still about a foot or so of snow every where else.

Rabbit moved in under the front steps over the past week or two. Rained all day yesterday. Mid 50's. There were a couple of Red Robbins in the back yard last weekend. Won't be long now.

Yeah all that is great except that I have already mowed my "lawn"(3 acres) 3 times this month. Just wont stop growing. But It is beautiful to see the wildflowers this time of year.<br />Later,
