It took me a while to get everything scooped that I was going to get scooped. There were some deep drifts. It was not easy getting to the hay and making a path to take it into the barn.

And there was also a layer of ice beneath the snow. That made it even more fun.

But I finally got as much done as I was going to. Don’t ask me why the dog was licking the ice/melt off the deck steps.

Then, since the ground was still thawed under all of that snow, I thought I’d put out my latest garden acquisitions. I’m sure the snow stick is not accurate because of the drifting. I’m also not sure I have it completely down to the ground. After everything melts again, I’ll adjust it.
And I could not resist this owl thermometer because the one I hung out there last summer does not work. Ever. So I thought I would try this one. For the record, it isn’t accurate in the photo because I had just put it outside, and it was still adjusting.
I just love it! And I think I’m ready for real spring.
