This IS May, right?

Sigh.  Ice on the horses' water again this morning.  Janette says it got down to mid-20s last night.  When we lived in IL we used to say not to plant the garden until after Memorial Day; up here it must be after Flag Day...

Still, the sun is shining and it's going to be a nice day to work outside.  We're clearing out some more long-standing weed and grass overgrowth by the hen house and I hope to get the hen house soffit replaced today.  Then, I'll do a quick course in chainsaw 101 and notch out the two poles we had the fence guys pound in the ground last year  for clothesline poles.  Bolt a couple of cross beams into the notches, string some rope and, taa daa!, we'll be able to save ourselves a big hunk of electricity. 

What a fascinating life, no?
