Among The Green

The sun has wended its way back to the northern hemisphere, passing the equator some months ago. Each day its angle moves higher in the sky on its journey to the Tropic of Cancer. It seems the sun has shoved the white of the winter away and splashed the landscape a vibrant green. Yet if one looks around the heavy hand of old man winter can be glimpsed among the green.

Good point by Peter. But, wow the snow this year did have a dramatic impact on roofs and gutters.

That is merely a clever way for the farmer to divert more rain water to the raspberry bushes in front of the barn.

Now this is what we call a property that needs a little TLC. Or maybe a handiman's special.

Hi James, the roof joists were only designed to last so long and the time has come. Excellent photo!

Peter, Just a bit :)

Debbie, It sure did.

Michael, I think it needs a bulldozer :)

Jay, That could be! Farmers are clever folk.

Peg, Yes, a rain barrel seems a bit more practical :)

Don, Ummm, could be time to do a little maintenance. ;)

Nutsy, Actually that is home you and your kin visited recently.

Dawn, Yes it is :)

Robert, No question about it.

Dan, Thanks.
