Sure Signs of Spring!
The glaciers have receded, and the sun is shining! There still are reminders of this past harsh winter deep in the trees and along Bob’s creek bed, but it looks like Old Man Winter has departed (fingers crossed). The warm days have turned the road to the barn into a bit of a quagmire and some sink holes have developed in front of the barn doors. Nonetheless, the sure signs of spring at the Hammond Barn (as seen below) bring with them a renewed sense of optimism (until the Mosquitos arrive).
Today, we spent the morning in cleaning up around and in the barn. After lunch, Bob and Grant did some maintenance on the ride on lawn mower, while I sorted the reusable metal bins in the barn. Bob remembered that the stores were closed tomorrow, so he scooted off to the local beer store to stock up. Grant kept the home fires burning, while I headed for home to tackle the “honey-do” list. Some day we will get back to working on CMPs…
