Extra! Extra!

Smell ALL about it?


Some thought it was dog doodoo as they curled up their nose and checked their shoe bottoms. Other new-comers, thought it may just be the end of the world. But, alas it is neither! Our last week with it's beautiful warm sunshiny days here in the wide open northwest high desert have brought to life the invigorating spring thaw on our frozen fields, hills, lawns and flowerbeds. Farms are teeming with life!  Baby animals are being born, birds are chirping and yes, poop is thawing. While the green that it brings is absolutely beautiful and one of my personal fave times of the year; Spring's warmth also brings with it melting, seeping cow pies that are also bursting to life... er, fertilizing our fields after a long, winter freeze.

What a beautiful, awful smelling time of year that encourages life and growth!
Break out the shovels, break out the gardening gloves, and don't forget your clothes pins...

Happy SPRING!
