Seeing green again…

…but not for long!

I think it hit 70° yesterday morning. Sun was shining, ice and snow melting, able to see the grass again!

But by mid-afternoon the skies turned gray, it rained some, and the temperature dropped to 48°. To make up for all that melted snow, we are getting more this morning. The first big pic is from about 10 am, the second from 2 pm.

It is still February, so not a real surprise.

I think the nice weather was more shocking to everyone and everything yesterday. What looked like honey bees, not wasps but not sure, were in all of the feed bowls. In the pig pen and the chicken yard, nowhere near each other at either end of our driveway, all of the feed bowls were covered in bees. I guess the normal bee food is not available this time of year.

Poor Johnny Be Good had to make his way through the mud to fight off the bees to get to his food.

I don't know which is worse, the mud or the ice which preceded it. I had to buy ice cleats for both of us just to get from the garage to the house. Now the ice is almost all gone, but the mud is deep (look at Johnny up to his knees!) and covered in snow. But at least it's a sign that spring is almost here. Yay for that!
