Around this time of year I like to write a bit about the violence of spring on the northern plains. I'm nursing a respiratory infection so this one will have to be brief as I need my beauty sleep.
Two weeks ago the garden had at least foot of snow on it. Now my garlic is up more than six inches and the weeds are on a rampage. I expect to see asparagus any day now!
Manon and i went of a long leisurely walk today. Me with my new snake hook and Manon of course wondering off without thinking to bring her rubbers. Life is short. Play hard.
No doubt we are in for a slap somewhere along the road to summer, but so far everything but the Bur Oak have decided to show some interest in spring.
Below are some images from the day. It was a brilliant warm fresh day. If I was healthier I'd have that
telescope out tonight. Dang it all! I hate the smell of green snot.

An short video will be available if it ever finishes up loading. It's supposed to be a short video clip of the Roseau River from the bank at the bottom of our access road. The file is not quite 8 megs, but for some reason MTS is being lame. Surpised? NOT! Monopolies blow big chunks of dung. Oh Canada!
