I hope that darn ground hog doesn't see it's shadow tomorrow. I'll hunt that little rascal down if he does!!!!
Anyway, I plan on going to the gym, then lunch with a neighbor and then into Council Bluffs for a Veteran meeting about what we can do to prevent Veterans from committing suicide. Maybe I'll go to a friendly neighborhood bar there for the Super Bowl before coming home.
Agreed. I am so damn tired of winter already.
But today in Springfield MO, it was 75 F. And really sunny.
We went to our ranch property which we haven't worked since 2015.
The 32 foot RV was a mess and so were the decks and piles of building supplies.
Wild oats have taken over the lawn and pasture. Rains have wrecked the roads. However, the spring fed creek, which runs through the whole place, was running deep, cold and clear. Where we used to ford it, and where I planned to build a small dam/culvert, had naturally transformed into a 4-5 ft deep, 100 yard long X 20 or so FT wide pond full of bluegill and creek chub.
All the waterfalls were working. It was nice to see that. All five springs were pumping clear cold water.
Except for a lot of dead falls, trees that did not survive the fire, virtually no evidence of the wildfire that occurred some 11 years ago. The place is healing nicely.
We bug bombed the buildings, put out rat and mice poisons, Loaded the JEEP with everything salvageable from the trailer and headed home.
Beautiful day for sure.
