Rick and Snowman

The snow really disapeared today. I keep lifting up straw mulch looking for earth worms. I just want to see them and know that they are there getting the soil ready for growing things. The kids played outside most of the day. Brenda took all the girls - Rose to the park for a picknick. I stayed home and worked on willow trellises. Making rustic trellises is my new passion. I am scrounging saplings from the edge of a local park and hauling it home with my bike trailer. I have plans to borrow a van a go along the river tomorrow to get a bigger bulk of material with a lesser chance of getting busted. I had to say good by to my good friend Mr. Snowman this week as the temps traveled up near sixty degrees.
