The pond is still about 2' low, but looks better than it did... A few more Spring pics too... all these blooms just means there is pollen in the air, and that means Joyce has a clogged up head. Tho, running the AC helps some.

Spring? A/C? What are these words? My brain doesn't compute

It is pretty there. Sorry for Joyce's allergies. I never had allergies until a few years ago. Now I do. It stinks.

@NH homesteader it's a different world down here. I have been cutting lush green grass for our sheep since we got them.

I'll take a couple of pictures tomorrow to show what you are in for since our pasture is so groomed now due to all of the cutting.

Grass? Yup don't remember that either

There is no snow in most places near me. Until you get to my house, we still have plenty of it. Lots of shade is nice in summer, not so nice right now!

Supposed to get a snowstorm next week, I just read

We are starting to mow now....tho, I will let the field go to seed before I do it, but trying to get the weeds cut before seeding in the yards....here's the field here... this next one is a field tbat hasn't been sowed and is just the natural grass and weeds.... so we got to get to cutting or get behind. I sure hate to see it start so early.

Just looked at the weather radar and you are about to be pounded! Hope everything is battened down and no damage occurs.

 

[Mike CHS]

We had some sleet but most of the damaging winds seems to have missed us.

We got .3" of rain and the intensity lessened greatly as it approached our area, so all is good here...except for soggy ground. We have more rain coming tomorrow nite into Sun, then temps will be dropping to more normal for this time of year. Hope it slows the grass and weeds down a bit.

Got the bird house today, Joyce did the chickens this morning, and I got the ducks this afternoon. Left the ground uncovered to air dry and give the ducks a chance to grab some worms, slugs, and grubs. I do hope to never have to clean that much out again. I let it go way too long, but it isn't like I've just been sitting here either. The ducks really enjoy clean out day, they bill thru everything several times over. The "Dotties" will get their chance at it in the morning. We got the goats up the hill by the house today.... .....this will give ya some perspective as to how tall the weeds are here, going to have to get it cut soon. That is a patch of vetch they are chewing on there...by the mouth-fulls.
Comet is limping on his lft frt leg, Lightning is challenging him every day for #1 position....probably bruised a bit. I'll have to keep an eye on it, tho. We have rain and cold temps coming tomorrow nite into Sun and temps this next wk are suppose to be a bit below normal of 53, there is a frost advisory out for tonite....actually sounds strange to hear that and WC being in the forecast. This patch of clover and peas is above ankle high.... ....and the smell is unreal. We are going to get the brace posts cut tomorrow, before the colder stuff gets here...the cold really hurts Joyce's hands and wrists....and it will be Faster than a ratchet strap....that way, I can work by myself when weather and time allows getting them wired up. Guess that's about all for now, anyways....

They look to be in really good condition for this time of year.
