Spring and howe!



Guess what! It's spring here....finally. I have been working hard clearing brush and piling up tree trunks and limbs and leaves so that we can burn them. You can see the stacks of brush in these photos.

We took down the fence so we could move it to the front along the road. We'll have the white picket fence to keep the cows out and the grandkids in when you visit.

We have had a brown and grey landscape for so long that it is very heartening to see some green grass, some shoots, and even buds and flowers. And because it has been so long since we have seen these things, I went out and photographed the beginning signs of spring.

There is just one problem. I took out Dad's camera and did not notice that he had it set on a light setting for indoor shooting....since that's what we did last with the wrestling. So everything I shot was completely overexposed and so bright, that I had to get very creative in trying to adjust the brightness. Hence the unusual oranges and reds. It's kind of surreal. Here you are:

Some trees and some flowers growing. One tree even grew up in the middle of our picnic table!!



We are so happy to see Spring just around the corner and warmer days in store.
