A Bit of Snow & Sunshine
This is what our first crocus looked like after a light snow on Friday morning, March 10. The snow left us with a beautiful landscape. (This was the small snowfall – before the big snowfall a few days later.) The geese are still in the field looking for food. March 11 & 12 were filled with […]

Snow Flurry
