Snowing again; 6-12" expected; heading for a HIGH tomorrow of -6 (TV forecast) or 0 (Weatherbug) or -1 (NWS 'Point Forecast for the ranch): too bloody cold, any way you slice it.

Meteorologist said that is 50F below normal for March first!

First 4 peach seedlings emerged yesterday.

Cats have just about finished demolishing their cat grass, but what's left is still green; longest it's ever lasted for us. The experiment seems to be a success, and I'll continue to plant it in deeper containers for them.

Got the last of the seeds we ordered, though of course not the potato & sweet potato sets.

I also accidentally found my missing barley, spring wheat, and lentil seeds that I put in a "safe" location 2 years ago. Guess it wasn't safe enough, or I wouldn't have stumbled on them today. *<];-')

Had to split some of next winter's wood yesterday, as we were down to our last week's worth of split & stacked firewood. Had to bust a trail through 10-12" of frozen snow to get the truck to the piles; that took almost as much time as it did to load the billets. It was a balmy 38, and sunny, and calm, so not too bad at all for working outside.

This is one of our old apple trees; its at the SE corner of the main barn.

That’s a nice size apple tree. We are in for it tomorrow as far as the weather goes. At least no one has to go to work tomorrow.
