Yep, The harsh cold Winter is passing, finally. Damn Canucks gave us some cold weather past 3 weeks.
We’re having a ‘False Spring’ starting today. Hit 45, I think? I can feel my Spring Cold coming on - which usually hits me around Easter, but is ahead of schedule.
Yes, I’m all full of Zinc and extra Vitamin C - took a nap today, which is very unlike me. Ugh! I’m not ready to surrender quite yet!!
My PLAN for tomorrow - into the 50’s! - was to tear apart the greenhouse and make the modifications I’ve been working on. May or may not happen but I’m thinking positive! You only get a False Spring once a year!
We usually get another snow dump during State Finals for Boys Basketball which will be in March. I’m always concerned because they’re crossing the state in bad weather in those stupid school busses!
If I DO get this cold, I have a week to get over it before our BIG EVENT of the Season, The Pecatonica River Valley Coon Hunters Club Banquet. We picked up the trophies the other day and my Emma Jolene is the Big Winner again this year. She’s pretty much aging out of the sport, though. She’ll be 10 this coming Spring. She was in the first litter of pups that I raised, so she’s special to me.
Beau has been testing out a few new coon dogs, but so far hasn’t found one that he’s willing to buy. All of our current home-grown batch are trained on black bear, so they think hunting coon is a waste of their time and talents - which it is.
Mama don’t raise no Dummy Doggies, LOL! :)
