A Moment of Reflection

There are a lot of task that need to be done on this day.

Fences that survived the flood need to be cleaned out, straightened and restrung. A new fence needs to be built where the logging job keeps moving along up the hillside. Trees need to be limbed up, both around the hay fields and in the orchard. The asparagus bed needs to be prepared for the new bareroot plants. The list is endless.

But I had to take a moment and just savor the day when I saw the fog dancing around the fir trees on the hillside. The maples and cherries still look bare from the winter but soon the buds will start swelling and spring will burst forth.

I noticed the day just a bit longer today, it was past 5pm and I could still see where I was walking. Could spring be very far away?
