spring?

It finally arrived.....................

...........not a new car.............nor a new horse..............but........................the longest period of sustained dry weather since the start of winter. It has been the most glorious week of weather, cold mornings but sunny days and today it crept up to 16 degrees, oh YES.

So the garden is dug, the greenhouse is glazed and the boys have been enjoying long days in the field. Chapsi is still being a bit of a mare with the pony but there are no fisty cuffs and Moo seems to have the measure of the situation. I've been playing with the liberty work with both boys and have had a real 'breakthrough' in my head this week, I'll find the words later.

16 degrees, how marvellous!

Spring is here too, but nothing compared to your conditions.
We still have snow, and it's cold during nighttime (-13 this morning), but the sun is warming and it is getting lighter.
So we're on our way - hooray!

Hurrah for spring! Great that the boys are still settled despite the upswing in the season. Look forward to hearing your thoughts once you can get them written out :)
