Thoughts of spring

The Goatfarmer is out clearing snow from our latest storm, a two-day event this time.  Watching him from our sunroom, my thoughts turn to spring.  It is, after all, Ground Hog's Day and there's no way the little critter is seeing his shadow, so we should only have six more weeks of this weather to contend with!  Meanwhile, I'm enjoying some beautiful amaryllis that we nurtured in the garden last summer.  Just one more reason why we so enjoy our life here on the farm.  Hard work in the summer yields some lovely rewards to be enjoyed on a cold wintry day.  Winter will eventually end, and the long-awaited spring will arrive.  We'll all be more than ready for that here in the Northeast!
