Walking to the barn, you notice that the air has a nice southerly feel to it and the sun is actually giving off warmth instead of its usual bright yet cold stare. It is starting to melt! Spring is coming! It’s the middle of March and this is the final melt! Here on the Homestead the last melt of winter is a long awaited sign – though not a very pretty one. The season can almost be described in one word… “Mud”. While mud is a promise of the green spring to come, it can be a very dreary time.

Hi!!!
