I can feel the cold grip of winter loosening its hold here in northeast Nebraska. We had an extremely nice winter, but I am still happy to see spring. Below are some sure signs that spring has arrived at the farm….
#5-The cattle in the feedyard and pasture scare me because they are laying flat on their sides soaking in the sun (but it makes them look like they are dead)

#4-The cats are “fighting”
#3-I don’t think hubby put enough manure on the garden last fall and should bring a few more loads
#2- The kids won’t come in the house until dark (and they forget they have an X-box or an iPod!)
And the #1 sign that is it spring on the farm….muddy footprints on the rug, through the kitchen, down the hall, in the bathroom….
