Almost April

Almost April

It is almost April. The ground is still frozen, the day are still cold and windy. The snow and ice are retreating under the Spring Sun, the animals are beginning to grass as the stubble of grass opens up for them. We will be expanding the Dahlia garden soon, more space, new colors.

Our home is battered a bit by the hard winter. The heat is almost all of the day, we are only lighting the wood stoves at night.  It is supposed to go up to 60 degrees later in the week. In a few months, we will be hopefully getting a puppy, in a few weeks a pony. Definitely, a sense of rebirth and renewal after the winter, a season of struggle and loss.
