April Showers bring May flowers?
Ok...it's May 2nd. We've had the April showers...oh, man, did we ever. So much it's now spread into May. It's chilly and damp outside, and I'm bitting at the bit to get outside and do something....but there is nothing I can do!
Can't plant, too muddy. Can't mow, too muddy. Need to vaccinate and work the calves, and get the bull out; can't do it. The newborn lambs are learning to jump the mud puddles, or simply learning that they can get their little feetsies wet!
I do have the potatoes and tomatos in the ground, but that's about it. My strawberries are thinking about coming back to life, but the 40 degree nights are restraining them. The hedge tree leaves are bigger than squirells earsI a sure sign it won't freeze again), but that's about the only sign of spring so far!
Any one else feeling the rainy day blues?
