Rain and Mud!

For weeks you have heard me complain about winter and cold and snow but now I think I need something new to complain about and the Lord has blessed me with just that! RAIN AND MUD! I should just be happy with the fact that it is above freezing and the sun is shining.
I am one of those people that is never happy with the weather so, soon I hope to be able to complain that it is too hot, I have a sunburn from spending hours mowing the lawn, and lets not forget the air conditioning bill!

Enough of that at least the sun was out for awhile this morning and Byron and I were able to spend most of the morning in the woods splitting firewood for next winter! I know you are all envisioning me with an ax in my hand but I am happy to tell you that I get to sit on the tractor and run the hydraulics to the splitter to split the wood! It was nice to be with Byron for awhile just out in the warmer temps and sunshine. I do love spending time with him regardless of what we are doing. The sandhill cranes were out today flying over on their annual voyage back north! They are such noisy critters and people around here that don't know better mistake them for geese. I, living with a die hard waterfowler, have been taught the difference. I just look for the long legs trailing behind to distinguish the cranes from the geese! They both fly in the "V" pattern so don't be fooled by that! It is nice to see them because for me they are a sure sign of spring! I look forward to seeing them in the sky flying north and not south! Over the next few weeks I am sure that I will begin to see other signs that the spring season is upon us! The sale of motorcycle insurance goes way up this time of year too! I can't wait til it gets here !

Here is wishing you all a happy, rainy, muddy spring!
