March at Morgan

   Its been a long winter and cold to boot. Now that spring has come we are still seeing snow and feeling the cold chill our bones. The snow still covers the landscape but looks like it disappears a little each day. We'll hit the 50's this week, but we need some sun to go along with the higher temperature. Have a few indoor projects to finish then hopefully out to enjoy the yard. Pups just as soon be out there also.

 There is about 6 inches of snow covering the garden which has a nice bed of leaves.


Even Rylee is tired of walking in the deep snow. But just the same she waits till I put the leash on and off we go. She has one of the best noses around. A true hunter she is.                                   


                                                                                            



Life in the woods is quiet when we go through. Lots of tracks,mostly squirrels a few deer and a fox once in awhile.

Rosie just wants out all the time. No matter what the weather is she is always at the door telling us to open it. If you tone her out she sits in front of you and stares you down as she is doing while I type. Every day I secretly thank Margaret for bringing them into our home.


Not too much going on with Kate. She is starting to show her age just like me. She is still up for a good walk and love to show her baritone bark with the neighbor's dog is out. She has been here 1st.
 The wood are quiet and just awaiting for the work to go on. As soon as I can drive in the backyard, Stanley will be pulling out the logs. Going to need some young help on this project. Any volunteers? 

 Everything awaits a new birth . Seeds have been planted and the pepper are about 3 inches tall already. I have a few flowers that germinated also and need to get them in the greenhouse. Tomatoes were started yesterday, about 13 different varieties thanks to Jenny, Sara and friends from the forum. Always glad to see extra seeds in the mail. Hopefully next month I'll have some greenhouse pictures along with the rows drawn out in the garden. Onions from Dixondale should arrive soon along with the blueberry bushes from Start Brothers. Compost season opens next week along with the trout fishing season. Can spring really be here after this long drawn out winter? I hope so. As they say in the old country        DO VIANJA
