The Birds are Ready

     A cold day today at the farm.  It has been 20 degrees below normal for the last couple of days and it still looks pretty brown.  But the birds feel it is time to get on with spring as do the snowdrops and crocuses.  The sun was welcome but I got home too late from town to take advantage of a walk.

     Deer are lurking too close to the garden already.  There are so many that they are eating at the multiflora rose bushes.  Looks like we need a King Kong fence around the garden to keep them out.  They can destroy lots of veggies in a short period.  At least we don't have ground hogs.  Old Hank and Bosco wiped them out but now that they have passed we may see the whistlepigs again.
