Waiting for Spring

Waiting for Spring

With the nighttime temperatures nearly at zero, we are desperately searching for some significant signs of spring.  Here is today’s list of cabin-fever-beaters:

• Today is the equinox, and the days are noticeably longer. 

• The sun melts the snow and ice off of our solar panels much more quickly than it did a few months ago. 

• The crab apple tree in our yard that holds its fruit all winter long is this week attracting robins, deer, turkey and squirrels. 

• We think that a pair of bald eagles may be sitting on eggs in a new nest down the valley from our farm.
