It's Melllttiiinnnggg!!!!

We can turn around down at the barnyard again...

Day before yesterday.

Yesterday, Aidan found the snowmelt making a stream off the far, low end of the property. He made a video of it, but you'll have to check it on my Facebook page. Blogger won't upload my videos, and I haven't found out why yet.

Late this afternoon we walked over to the stream place again. It was raining and fog lay on the landscape.

Here is where the goats will live again soon. They mostly are in and around the barn this winter.

We're almost to the low end of the property.

It was well worth the walk to listen to the water running in the foggy, wet world. Aidan and I are going to keep this in our minds for the 96 degree summer days.

The barn dimly beyond.

Running out from under the ice; then, back under the ice.

Soon these trees will have leaf buds.

There are jonquils coming up by the side door. Pansies have lived all winter under the snow and ice. I think I see some crocus poking through, too. And, there was a fly sitting on the gate latch.

Saturday, I'll be starting off for Utah to give Valerie, Tim, and Sonja and boys a hand with the moving they are starting to do that I mentioned around a week ago. Valerie has surgery and rehab ahead, as well. God willin' and the crick don't rise, I should get there in about a week. I'll miss my Pennsylvanian family mucho, and my friendships that are beginning to grow here. So, I will look forward to the return later on, and maybe get some visiting in as I drive back. I hope so; there are so many people I'd truly love to see.

The roads are all snow-free at this time,and I think the weather will cooperate though I'm hoping I don't drive into one of the myriad, gigantic pot-holes and disappear. Wow! are they a menace.
