Signs of Spring

We went out to the garden to dig out a stump.  Our neighbor said he would try to pull it out with his tractor, but we need to dig it down a bunch.  While we were out there I did a little survey work and discovered that spring has come under the winter brush.  Here is one of our nine rhubarb plants making way for the new season. 

New spring weeds and overwintered weeds were all over.  The rototiller will take care of many of them, but some of the larger one we pulled and gave to the chickens.  They always welcome the fresh green.

It was a pleasant day for filling the cows' water.  Our ten-year-old loves to be out there with her cows.  I wish it wasn't such a muck mess around there, but I guess that's life with large animals.
