roller coaster

The weather this winter has been like a roller coaster - lots of ups and downs. Sunday afternoon it was 69 degrees and by Tuesday morning it was 22 degrees. It's been like that all winter. But mostly it's been a colder than normal winter. And winter keeps hanging on. The frost has tried to come out of the ground about four times this winter. Our road is mushy and breaking up. And the old, old story of muddy rutted up driveways and barnyard. You know it's bad when I have to put the pickup in 4-wheel-drive to get from the shed up to the house! We add gravel to our driveways about every other year, but it just seems to disappear during spring thaw. Because of all the snow and rain we've had, the round-bales of straw and corn stalks are frozen together and to the ground. It's been a real challenge to bed down our hoop buildings where we use the big bales.
It is March. Our nights and mornings are winter and the afternoons are spring. Full-time spring can't be far off. I guess I had better get going on my winter projects pretty soon!
