Listened to the news til Noon and saw how fast the storm moved into the cities. About 12:30 I went out to work on the coop. Came at 1:30 and it is accumulating fast! Groundhog did not see his shadow today so an early Spring. Even when he does see his shadow the weather usually breaks by mid-March and it is getting warm. I am interested in seeing what an early spring means.

In Minnesota early spring means we will have no snow on Mayo De Cinco day, And fishing season opener will have almost lakes ice free.

As mild as this winter had been I bet ice out will be pretty early this year.

I'm counting on an early spring so I can get the garden disced and dragged and cover crops down (oats and some annual legume mix) ASAP to be ready for broiler chickens

Once upon a time a little 7 year old had a whole tub of Garter snakes. He caught them all at the baseball park with his friends. One day the little boy found the cutest little Robin and thought " Mr. Robin its your lucky day!! I havea whole tub of snakes who need a brother!" So the little boy ran home with his little Robin and brought him to his new brothers and sisters. The next morning when the little boy went out side to check on his snakes and Robin he noticed Mr. Robin was not in the tub. He looked and looked but couldnt find the Robin. Soon after Mr. Robin disappeared the little boy noticed his biggest snake was looking a little fat in one spot. He soon realized that Mr. Robin had been involved in a homocide!! The poor boy was sad that the snake ate his brother. All the snakes were charged with the death penalty... The end....



Btw that little boy was me... Snakes and little Mr. Robins dont mix...

I also wrote the 26lbs turtle who tried to eat the neighbors Pomeranian. ( long story short, my brother and I were told turtles tasted good and we saw a giant snapper on the road. So we put him in a tub and tipped the tub over. We found him half way under a fence with a tiny Pomeranian barkimg at him.)

The little bunny who got his head ripped of by a putty tat.

And more!!
