Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

yeah, warmth... 45 F.

still doesn't explain the fast snow melt

Well it's the only explanation I have brother.... Windy too. Staying above freezing at night

Here it is today...... Can see the seats now.
I'll tell you what AL ..... About 10 years back he had as much snow as we did a few days ago and on 15 April the temps got over, 90 and it all melted in two days..... Flooded everything
Washed out the main bridge into Marquette.
The amazing thing was.... They had a new bridge in by the 4th of July..... It's funny how fast they can get something done when it needs to be done.

Sounds like a whole lot of work and a royal pain in the backside. I take it you either have no row crops or an extremely short garden.

I remember when I first started gardening....I used to hand till.....a lot of work.
I used to his bags of manure home from the farm I was working at in the trunk of my car.
But did I have one heck of a garden. Strong plants.... The old timers from the neighborhood would stop by and check it out.....

I plant mostly in raised beds. But this garden i am using to plant along the fence. I dug up about 20 feet by 3 feet in 2 days. Today my quads are spasming! So took a muscle relaxer and drinking lots of fluids. Yeah, its a pain. But so full of roots and clay a tiller prob. Wouldn't work anyway.

It's good work though...... Rewarding.
I have to head out to the doctors this morning. My appointment is in Iron Mountian at 9am their time.... Which means if I leave by 8am our time I'll get there by 8:30 our time..... It's a 90 minute drive.... Always gets confusing when your dealing with two different time zones

I do enjoy busting up the clay with my fingers. Very therapeutic.

I don't claim to be an artist by any stretch..... But I picked up a pencil yesterday for the first time in 30 years and started doodling for a few minutes....... It was relaxing..... Kinda wish I'd have kept doing it.
But raising a family took up my time..... And other interest.
Anyhow maybe I'll try and do some more just for giggles
