high noon

Just turned 12 EST and it's still cr*ppy outside. Snow, sleet, freezing rain - and 40mph winds from the north.

Is it spring yet?

We had our first snow today, here in nw NJ. It didn't stick like your's. Very windy....blew over all our deck furniture (it should go inside soon anyway).

Except for wind, it's not bad right now.
I may go out and mow the lawn for the last time.

Tom,
Are you getting ready to turn over the garden for the spring crops at OSV yet???

Hi Dave - garden and fields are fully harvested, and produce is in the root cellar and corn barn. Got over 300 canada crookneck squash from the lower blacksmith field, and the best harvest of boston marrow in many years.

My radiation treatments are scheduled to begin in two weeks, so I'm taking it easy this winter. Letting the young whip snappers do the plowing.

Here's a link to some harvest pictures:

Admit it: is this not the best looking mangelwurtzel you've ever seen?

Got over 100 of them (excluding the ones eaten by the bull calves when one of the farmers left the gate open ...). Dork.

Tom,
Was "dork" a common term before 1830?

I must admit that I never had any mangelwurtzel from my garden look that good...

BTW: Sorry to hear about your radiation treatments coming up. You are being added to our prayers. Keep us informed.

Yes, but it would have been said "Ye olde dork!"
