First Weekend of Spring

Look what is blooming!  East of the mountains, spring is beginning to show.  Since there was not much snow this year, and it has been slightly warmer, spring is beginning to pop up, particularly on the southern aspect hills.

This could be a rather bad year for ticks and fleas, so the girls got their doses of flea/tick medicine.  I am always rather reluctant to use this stuff, but given we spend so much time in areas filled with deer and other tick vectors, I would rather be safe than sorry.

On another safe than sorry line, we also spent the weekend further preparations for what is called defensible space, making sure we have done enough to protect the house from wildfire.  Lifted a lot of river rock!  Sore muscles = good weekend.

Murphy's Day.
