Spring is here, right? At least is it around the corner??

Spring is here, well almost. The week has been a mix of rain and snow, snow and rain, hail, sunshine, and then more rain and snow! Even today working in the yard it began with rain, then sunshine, enough to warm up and peel off a layer, then late afternoon a rain/snow shower. I can't recall a time I've seen snow this close to April! The positive with the snow level so low, skiing will be good in the mountains, which I'll try and do next weekend : ) 

The garden is busy with prep for spring plantings, D has been a busy potato bug with putting together 24 buckets of potatoes! The theory- we will have a bucket to eat each week of the summer and into the fall. Now we're eating arugula, beet greens, and mustard greens now. Peas were planted prior to our trip to Tanzania and are beginning to show! We will begin to document our harvests with pictures.
