Spring?

Lucy "practicing" for summer

There's an old Pennsylvania Dutch farmer saying that goes something like this: when the earth is warm enough to sit on comfortably with your bare you-know-what, then it's time to start spring planting.

There's also the seasonal wisdom of old Golden Retrievers. Yesterday Dave sent this picture of Lucy testing the outdoor sleeping conditions, the first day in 2 weeks when it didn't rain or snow. We even had some blue sky in the afternoon. The daffodils are blooming and I spent a chilly morning outside, poking around at weeds and cleaning up. And dreaming about summer, like Lucy.

Nope, I did not give the ground the old "farmer test."
