The turn of the tide

It was 50-something degrees out today! I think we finally have broken the back of winter. We still have 1-2 feet of snow on the ground, but that is down from 2-3 feet last week, and it is supposed to be (relatively) warm this week.

Of course, the warmth really means one thing -- no, not spring -- mud season! Which means everything is slush and mud during the day, and frozen ruts and bumps at night.

The "road" from the first greenhouse, in front of the barn, and down to the house.

My foot ankle deep in mud.

In other breaking news, children grow up quickly. Compare this:

With the last photo in this sequence. Wavy doesn't even fit under the greenhouse tables anymore!

In a couple more years she will tower over them.
