Oh, yes, It is going to happen.....

What is going to happen you ask? SPRING. Oh, I know, they are using words in the weather report like FRIGID and ARCTIC. Don't you pay any attention to them, SPRING is near. How do I know? Well, you are reading the words of an " Old farmer" who has been " watching the ways of the animals" and maybe "reading the earth" Yep, That's me. So you can take my "sage" words as gold..... SPRING is coming. You remember Spring... right???

So, if this is you.....

And you look out your window and see this.....

Take the words of an old farmer.....Spring is coming... HAHAHA! OK, OK....so I can't go on with this. OF COURSE Spring is coming...it happens every year! Right!? Every year about this time we get discouraged. " WHEN WILL WINTER LET UP?" I hear.... or " I AM JUST ABOUT OVER THIS WHITE CRAP" I read on social media. But... rest assured... Spring will be here before we know it. While just the other day, a fellow blogger was saying how her big dogs were "blowing their coats". My big and fluffy K-9 is also shedding like a Maple in October. Fur is everywhere! And although I would normally be frustrated by all the fur, this year for some reason, I am LOVING IT. Why?? Because that means SPRING IS NEAR! Old Mother Nature communicates closer with the critters than she does us. Or maybe she does communicate with us, but we fail to hear... or see what she is telling us. Some of you may be waist deep in snow..or some even eyebrow deep in snow....but take a walk...look at the tips of the tree branches. Are they swelling up? They are around here, and you know what THAT means..... The trees are waking up from their long winter nap. Soon we will be dashing around trying to get the gardens ready...cleaning up flower beds that we might have failed to finish last fall. So, lets get those seed trays out...fill your trays and pots with potting soil...rummage through those seeds you tucked away last year and lets get those vegetables started. Get those cabbage and Brussels Sprouts going...and soon the tomato and peppers. It won't be long now...
