It's spring!

Robins are all over the place now trying to outsing the cardinals and chickadees. Woodpeckers are drumming on tree branches.

More significant, though: We planted snow peas today. May not sprout because the seeds were old, and I have new ones coming in the mail soon, but we wanted to try to get the earliest possible start. Tomorrow: lettuce and perhaps turnips. Spinach is already coming up in the hot frame.

Horses aren't shedding out much yet, so I wonder if they know something I don't.

My observations over the past ten years had led me to think that the horses shed based on the length of daylight. Some years they have started when there was still a lot of snow on the ground, but this year is a puzzle, as it's definitely later than usual and they all look like teddy bears still.
