DT :>the irrigation canals, the trees are taking turns blooming,
DT :>my
DT :>daffadils(sp?) are through blooming and its been in the
DT :>70's several

DT :>get the winter coat off Smokey.  His hair fills a small

DT :>every time we use the sheding blade on him.  The horses are
DT :>really

Well, winter finally arrived here last week...snow and ice.  We weren't here, 
though..on vacation (smart people!)  However, this week looks to be another 
wintery one.  Pre-spring here is mostly rain/wind/mud.  And that's pretty 
much what we've had all winter...no real snow at all this year. Horses are 
both shedding mildly, but not in full shed yet.  Some of my bulbs are up, but 
none are budding yet, and I hope this cold snap doesn't do them in.  Got the 
summer clothes out for vacation, but they're being washed and going back into 
storage for a few more months anyway (g)!
