I had a Robin in the yard the other day. That's always been said a sure sign of spring in Wisconsin. He's a few weeks early for up north here. I have not worked the gardens yet. They are still snow covered in the back yard here. I do have 72 tomato seedlings growing. But where I am at we usually don't plant until the first week in June. And have had frost even then. So this is strange weather.

Now I have 10 logger cord (4' high x 4' wide x 8' long or 24 face cord for the city people) of maple firewood delivered and waiting to be cut. I have an addition to build on the garage, and the orthopedic surgeon wants to replace my knee.. I have better things to do.

The weather man out of Duluth MN said we have a week of above average temps coming. That should melt all this snow in the yard. The snow piles will take a while. But to give you an idea of how early this spring is.. there was one year I went snowmobiling in the last week of April and even a short run, the first week of May. The snow was bad, but there was enough to get the machine out. Still it was cool enough this morning, that I needed a fire to warm the house up.
