Spring has sprung! Well Almost.

Yes. Oh, yes. I love this time of year. The days will be getting longer, the pollen is in the air and the snow is gone. Hopefully for good. Spring has sprung! And with the promise of all these amazing gifts from nature, comes the reminder that Opening Day of Major League Baseball soon will be here. This gets me so excited. Is this the year my misery of being a Cubs fan ends with a World Series Championship? Probably not. But I'm optimistic. This is the Year. Go Cubs.

Snowboarding back home

Squirrel figured out how to get into our hanging bird feeder

Snowboarding back home

Back home for Christmas means Snowboarding. The only thing back in northeast iowa they had like 2 feet of snow. Which usually is a good thing but this snow was deep. So we had to create a few paths and build a kicker. Which took a hour to do. But after that was done Lindsey and I had a lot of fun.

I wanted to do some jibbing on a rail, so I had to trudge through the deep snow to get some plastic culverts that we had on the farm.

Turns out they make decent Rails.
