Spring is in the Air!

"Spring is in the air, everywhere you look around" so goes the song that is sung on some fabric softener commercials, yet everytime I walk out of doors the song pops into my head. Truly spring is just around the bend.

This winter has been the worst (or best) winter since the winter of '94/'95. I loved the winter. Laugh if you will but winter is my favorite season and I missed it horribly the four years I was in college in CA. However, now I am very much looking forward to the spring and summer. There is the garden to plant, cultivate, tend; the flowers to trim and water; the house to build; the county fair; sheep to shear; and various other projects that will come up (in no particular order).

Though it is still rather cold, for the past week the snow has been melting noticably every day, but yesterday we had a bit of rain and a lot of rain. Most of the ground is bare and essentially the only snow left is the snow in the big drifts (where you can still sink above your snowboots). I am a bit sad to lose the snow already, but as aforesaid, am definitely looking forward to spring. It has been too many years since I have been here for the spring and planting the garden. Of course the weather and climate of NV is such that we usually cannot start planting the garden until May. Right now though it usually only gets above forty but below fifty, it is so nice that I often go outside without hat, gloves, scarf... or even, jacket :o) Absolutely beautiful weather.

The aftershocks have very much quieted down... I don't feel them very often anymore, but apparently Wells is still having quite a few.

I am applying for a job at our library and interviews are on Monday. It would be a good job to get, but I trust that, regardless of the outcome, God is in control and He knows what is best.

Okay, that is all for now. Sorry this update is so relatively short... I will hopefully update more later :o) Have a wonderful day all!
