Sunday, March 28

Got to the farm early to show the pony. He was so good! I'm hoping that everyone agrees he'll work out for Merissa and they make a great team this year.
Despite the sun, temperatures were still pretty cold and the wind was wicked. It's shedding season, so I'm going to be finding horsehair in every bodily orifice and on (and in) every piece of clothing for the next couple of weeks. Birdies will be very happy for all of the nesting material they'll find.
Afternoon turned overcast and the wind really picked up. We were hoping to get the prairie grasses burned this afternoon, but we'll have to wait for a little calmer day.
Boy, I thought we'd eaten potatoes like mad all winter, but still ended up with lots of sprouters from the ones we dug last fall. So Gale dug a couple of trenches and we planted loads of potatoes, whites, reds and a few Yukon Gold. We'll see how well they come up in a couple of weeks.
