Walked out on the deck and saw swallows for the first time this year!
Swallows are a sure sign of spring. Have never been very good at keeping track of the date of their first appearance, but always appreciate their presence when they do arrive.
We have never been too successful at keeping up with blogging in these parts, but thought it was probably time to try again. So many competing interests arise…
Spring is nearly here. The grass in the paddocks is showing signs of growth, and the animals will soon be off of hay. Geese, Mergansers and Mallards have been pairing up and floating the creek. A bald eagle was circling overhead a couple of days ago. And, I spied an otter in the creek.
All signs that winter has passed..
All signs of a lot of work around the property, fixing and building fences, laying irrigation lines and such.
Came across a great site about fence building the other day, including a nifty fence cost calculator! I expect to be visiting that again!
Will see how well we keep up with this project this time…
