Talking About the Weather

This week marks the end of March and beginning of April. Every year at about this time, Rural Ways begins fitfully transitioning from winter to spring. We spend one day working in the garden and the next day huddled around the stove while a blizzard blows through. Last year, we engaged in public speculation for at least a month (here, here, and here). This year, we look set to do the same. After pruning the orchard, raking the garden, and doing more deer fencing, we welcomed another winter storm yesterday, and woke this morning to The Homestead covered in ice. Welcome, as they say, to spring in the Rockies.
