    SPRING is here ! ! !!

    I notice this morning the HUGE Bradford Pear tree next to my shop has broken out in bloom this morning. That has always been my sign that Spring has sprung. Forcast for the day is also sunny and 65°.


    Of course there is still some bad news -- -- guys like Frank Pellow and others who still live in far North regions will still have to stay in hibernation in front of their computers for awhile yet before then can return to their shops

    It's up to 40 deg and sunny here in Minnesota. Still some snow on the ground but hopefully not for long.
    Those who sense the winds of change should build windmills, not windbreaks.

    Ken -

    You are right. My two favorite days are when I see the first buds starting to green up on the trees (you know it is close) and the first day I see a halter top. (Then you know spring is here.)

    You mean there is land North of you that you could actually dig a tunnel through
