spring weather

Before all the snow melts and they change the ice rink into the roller rink, Becky had me take she and her friend to the Rec center for some ice skating.

The next day, amidst melting snow, we sent Belle off on her date.   Tom pointed out that it might be good to stagger them in such a way that maybe Veronica would give birth while Belle is away.   As long as she doesn't drop at night when it is stil cold.  You can see her milk starting to come in too. She is just patiently waiting.

The days are warming up.  The daffodils and daylillies are coming up.   I did a lot of yard work yesterday with it being warm.   I started my seedlings a week ago, but thanks to the felines, they knocked over the tray and messed up all the seeds.  I just scooped them back up and leveled them off in the little pots.  I guess it will just be a surprise what they are and if they come up now.  I might try again in a week or two if I don't see anything.  I do have another tray but it doesn't have the variety of veggies that this one did.

The warmth melted the snow slowly, but very painfully for our pool.  The weight pushed down on the return part and dragged it down the side of the pool.  We have about a foot of water left. We just paid $600 last year for a fill.   Tom and I will be taking it down this year.   We just can't afford the $800 or so for a new liner and a pool fill again this year.

You can tell that the weather is breaking because the township was out grating the road.   The girls took advantage of it the other day and took the horses out for a quick road ride.
