We're gettin there

Slow but sure spring is going to get here. Saw some tiny purple flowers popping up out of the ground, and I'll think of their name later today, UGH! The sheep are finding bits of green grass to munch on, haven't seen any buds on the trees yet.Ready to start planting some potatoes and onions in the garden, carrot seed hasn't germinated.Got to find a place for the spinach.Skirted more fiber yesterday and when the weather warms a bit will get the washer going again, the hoses freeze at night unless I drain them, bring them in the garage and keep a fire going in the stove.So, it's easier to wait on warmer days.This winter has been unusually cold and long lasting.We are used to working outside most of the year but have not been able to get much outside work done this winter.The cold and rain came early making it impossible to finish field work, had to wait until the ground was frozen hard before we could combine the last of the soybeans. And, not much of the wheat ground got planted, and what did ain't looking good.Just hope the ground dries so we can plant cotton,field corn and the garden and our favorite sweet corn.You're not  a real southern farmer if you didn't grow sweet corn and watermelon.
