We actually saw the sun over the weekend here in Central Missouri. Rain moved in from the south last night and it’s expected to continue through most of the day, then turn colder and snow tomorrow.

I got a bit of cleanup done in the garden yesterday, and put gravel on a couple places in the driveway that are suffering from the wet weather. Can’t get a machine off the driveway due to the mud, so there’s not a lot of progress to be made on outdoor projects for awhile yet.

The pond critters are starting to wake up from their winter nap. I noticed a few bullfrogs sunning themselves on the bank yesterday, and the shallow water near the edges is loaded with schools of minnows. I broke ice Saturday morning and dropped a baited minnow trap in next to the dock. Caught a ton of minnows and transferred them to a cage so I’ve got bait to go crappie fishing when the weather improves.

I love a man with a plan! Sounds so wonderful that Spring is at your house!

We still have quite a few weeks to go until we hear Spring Peepers. :)
