My dream for Kenny Ray

"make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody."

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

Spring on the way

Got down to the cabin Saturday, was going to go down Friday night after work but It started snowing again and it took me an hour to get home that is about 35 minutes longer than normal,

so I decided against it. I fixed some frozen water pipes that cracked and replaced the kitchen and shower faucets that froze and started leaking. Kenny Ray went with me to help and clean up a little, to get the cabin ready for more regular use. There is still about a foot of snow on the ground and the lane to the cabin is just barely passable even with 4 wheel drive. The woods and the fields around the pond are beautiful with all the snow and few deer and rabbit tracks are the

only sign of life around right now. I have enjoyed the snow this winter, the weatherman said this February snow fall is the second largest on record 23" for the month and only one day above freezing, and just 2 days of sunshine.About the only thing I did was rabbit hunt , and read the Bible. I am starting to get cabin fever. I always try to plant potatoes by March 17, they may be late this year, looks like it will take that long for the snow to melt. They are calling for 40 degrees this weekend so I am planning on checking my honey bees and place an order for 3 more packages. we had planned on doing some fencing and burn some brush this past month but now it looks like March is going to be a busy month.
