We are thinking Spring, even though it was never above freezing today and will be near zero tonight. We went for a walk on Macmillian Road and Maris tossed the first rubber ball of the year for Lenore, she was happy to go after it. For me, it was the first time I used the shutter burst feature – 12 shots a second – on my new camera, and I was pleased to see I caught the ball in mid-flight. Nice camera, I am learning a lot about it.

We are, like all of you, very eager for Spring, it is very close, I see it every day in the sun, not in the ice and snow that shrouds the farm.
