March 13


It was in the upper 30's today and the snow has melted. When I went for my walk this evening, I was so happy to see this green tint to the field down the road from my house.
The farmers often plant something called winter rye in the fall. When the snow melts, you can see it has begun to grow. This is something they plow under in the Spring. It helps amend the soil. I'm just happy to see green. I also saw my first robin while walking!
