This morning, after we dropped our trash and recycling at the transfer station, we took the long way home. We came upon a man driving his team of three beautiful horses, as they spread a load of manure on his fields.
It is a blustery, overcast and chilly day up here on the ridge. This afternoon, we bundled up and went out to do more winter clean-up. We uncovered the daffodil buds, gathered more kindling and raked gravel back onto the road.

The crab apples are budding, and the rhubarb is crowning. We had wild ramps from the yard, grilled with asparagus and carrots last night, as we gathered family around the table. My cousin Kristen brought a sweet bouquet of pussy willow stems, one of my very favorite signs of spring.
Three days of respite from the world, tucked in here at our "bit of earth"...
preparing for spring a perfect way to spend the day.
