I had a good winter break from the worst of it I am told. Six weeks in a place called Naples, the 3rd phase of my yearly rotation of Corn then Beans and then Naples...It's is truly a good rotation that rejuvenates both my soil and my soul...
Sweet Pea came down for a couple very short visits, and the last of which was a couple days on the Naples beaches and then help me guide the motor home to Indiana. Stopping off to see her brother Mark Borton and wife Terry in Pensacola Florida. Pictures to the right are me and the birds in Naples, and then the view the Borton's have from there 16th story (maybe a couple hundred feet in the air) condo on the beach there...We will be going back for some beach time their in August it has been suggested.
But the main thrust of this blog is what's happening right here and now and that being Spring has sprung here in the heartland of Indiana...The first flower appeared shown at right the day before spring arrived...It was such a surprise to see it just out the back door...It greets me each year and is so delicate but it has guts to come forth so early while snow could still be in the wings...Matter of fact the worst snow I saw all winter was in lower Alabama not too far north of Pensacola on our way home. But soon as we neared Tennessee it cleared, and have not seen another flake since. Nor do I care too, so there Mr. Weatherman, let it be know Spring has Sprung.
Another sure sign is George Lumley has worked some ground on the ends of his field along 52 in preparation of NH3 application....Soon others will follow and the black smoke of diesel tractors will catch the eye of travelers along Indiana highways...Soon after that in very early May corn rows will appear as this years Hoosier Gold makes its journey of the Indiana summer....All of that will unfold right here on this blog...even maybe some sex in the corn field..and other headline grabbers as they come along...It's gonna be another great summer....
