Seasons of change

I like winter well enough, it's just that some years it seems to drag on. This was one of those years. Our youngest seems to have spent a fair bit of it sick. Between colds, the fifth desease and finally a bout of strep throat, requiring for the first time in his 11 years antibiotics.  Thanksfully the temperature is rising and the sun is shining! Time to think Spring.
Heading to cut some firewood for next year.

When you live on a Farmstead as much as you enjoy one Season you're always thinking about and preparing for the next. Spring maybe on its way that means time to head back to the bush to find dead or fallen trees to cut and split so they'll be seasoned for next years firewood, Late winter is the time most gardeners look to their gardens, yes they maybe covered under snow but it doesn't stop us from thinking ahead. Time to buy seeds and start plants. I have to remind myself not to be too eager and start too many seeds too soon, like eveything else I learned this the hard way.
Cool season crops
