Spring Light at the end of the Winter Tunnel
Written by Deb on March 1st, 2009Finally it is March and the light at the end of the long winter tunnel…….I was still suffering from “post traumatic stress” from last winter when the first winter storm arrived in November so this winter has seemed to go on forever but it’s March and that means SPRING!! The temperature doesn’t say “spring” this weekend with highs way below normal but at least it is light longer and the view isn’t all snow. The barnyard/outside agility area is a skating ring though courtesy of rain, melting snow then below freezing temps a couple of days ago so hard to picture the equipment up and classes running yet despite the inquiries.
The donkeys would not leave the barn the morning after the rain turned to ice. They are cautious and smart enough to know it is dangerous. It took Kent almost a half hour to convince them to go into a pasture and it wasn’t the one he wanted them to go into! Even the horses are treading quite carefully on the ice which I’m glad to see.
But it’s March so we can hopefully look forward to some better weather. In the meantime I’m going to Disneyland (World) and hoping when I get back winter will have left Wisconsin. In the meantime I plan to soak up enough Florida sun to last me until May!!!
Deb have a wonderful and safe time in Florida!!!!!!!!!!! I know we’re ready for spring here, too. Not as badly hit as you have been but we’ve had a challenging winter, too. Congrats on your win with Summer. What a great name since we’re all anticipating spring and summer coming. Making plans on coming up for Winnebago!
Thanks, Susan!
Have a wonderful time in Florida and I sure hope winter has disappeared by the time you get back!

I’m having a great time and won’t want to go home and back to reality! It’s been perfect beach weather!
