The bald eagles here in Greenfield were "screwing" around up in the tree outside of the nesting site the past few days.

I have about 14 inches of snow outside my living room window. All that snow is going to keep us cold a long time.

It's 58 degrees here now. Supposed to be in the 60's tomorrow...

And be the wettest day of the year so far.

Rain without freeze is good this time of year. It firms up the soil that is muddy from freeze/thaw. We also need the nitrogen and higher water table for the growing season.

Of course, heavy rain to muddy soil does mean a lot will wash.

Walked out the back door on the deck. to an almost Balmy 56*.
Came in and completed the list of needs for the garden.

Good for farming. Horrible for our construction sites and getting the soil stabilized. It was warmer than they predicted in SE Indiana today. 69 degrees. I think the groundhog might have lied.

Went out last night to put the chickens to bed and noticed the backyard was full of night crawlers. Needless to say I had to pull a half dozen for the girls as a treat after a long COLD winter.

I came out of work yesterday and it was deafening with the sound of spring peepers. I'm sure they have gone back to sleep today. But they were sure awake and making some noise yesterday.

2 feet of snow then *POOF* - Gone.

Now it appears we all live in a lake with the flooding up here.

Sandhill cranes are flying over in large flocks. I believe I saw/heard the first ones in our area yesterday. This morning, I noticed the garlic is up about 3 inches. I guess I didn't dig it all last summer as I thought...must have missed quite a bit from the looks of the patch.

We had over 8 inches of rain in the past two days and flooding is everywhere!

I noticed the crocuses in my yard were starting to bloom and saw the my first flock of cranes flying north yesterday evening.

 

[Dead Duck]

Last rainstorm completely melted the snow in record time and today a bunch of towns are officially closed. They are now rescuing people from their homes...... with Zodiacs. Oh, and more snow on the way.

Sign of spring?
