Seasonal lament

Spring in New England, gotta love it.  Used your heat and air conditioning in one day?  Yup.  One day you're in a t-shirt, the next morning you wake up to a dusting of snow.  Although, it's still beautiful.

And this will be the view out my living room window next year.

I need to find a good tree person to work on that mulberry tree in the center of the pasture.  Over the years the horses ate all the lower branches and now there's bittersweet vines beginning to choke it.  If you've never had mulberries, they're the most delicious berries ever, so saving this tree is a must.

I have my finished plans for the ADU in my hot little hands, so now I'm just waiting for the septic design.

This little woolly bear caterpillar crawled out from under a snowbank the other day.  Little early, dude.  You can see him just above the crack in the step.

Yesterday a big fox was out in the pasture, and Fish & Game has started to ask people to bring in bird feeders because the bears are beginning to emerge from their winter dens.  Love these signs of spring!

These signs, not so much.

Ugh.  The big barn is temporarily a large flooded mess.  Mom & I spent a few hours pumping it out to try to get it to dry up.  I had to move the snow blowers and my air compressor up onto pallets to get them out of the water.  In some spots it was about 3" deep.  Always an adventure!
