He was glad to get it all washed off and we sneaked in a little bit of a hair cut in the whole area. Our kitchen floor will be the sign of mud season. L.

Early for us but I remember one year many years ago when most of the wild flowers were blooming in mid-March. I was working part-time at Brukner Nature Center then. Maybe this will be a year like that one.Pauline Persinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774940797880184764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-3797678585515076572016-03-08T07:31:02.489-06:002016-03-08T07:31:02.489-06:00Congrats to Sam!
