I'm just about to do a post about a unique birding-by-ear opportunity that's just about in your back yard (in terms of distance).

What a deli...Hey Heather,<BR/>I heard the peepers, too! What a delightful sound it was. I hope they don't get frozen in any future frosts. Maybe they go underground? And the birds are singing again...it's awesome. I was thinking about you the other day when I heard birdsong but, of course, couldn't identify the singer(s). I need someone by my side continuously!<BR/><BR/>Maggie--oh, you wouldn't believe all the discussion we've had about the horse barn placement. That field used to have these "blow holes" the county extension guy called them--places where the old drainage tiles had collapsed and sucked the ground down and out. We had a new, plastic drainage pipe put in and it works like a charm to keep the place from becoming a lake. Still...I'm not entirely trusting. I've got an appointment with the county extension agent to come talk me through some proposed sites. I'm hoping to learn a lot. Hopefully, I'll be able to post about the barn progress beginning this May (fingers crossed).Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11755326634543377119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560799310228475757.post-57006460107836129262009-03-08T14:42:00.000-04:002009-03-08T14:42:00.000-04:00You have such a beautiful place there Meg.

That sorta looks different than it sounded in my head.<BR/><BR/>About the horse barn, just a thought, but have you considered putting it up the hill so water doesn't run down the hill into the barn and the yard right around it? I don't know anything about horse barns. That's just a thought that occurred to me when I saw the pic.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816975302578794747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560799310228475757.post-16778348522018751332009-03-07T19:00:00.000-05:002009-03-07T19:00:00.000-05:00Meg, I'm with you, trying to stay positive through...Meg, I'm with you, trying to stay positive throughout winter, but so happy and feeling much more... ALIVE when spring springs. That's a lot of mowin' you did there. You go girl! There's a field across the street from us that belongs to our neighbor, but he lets my husband borrow his Massey-Ferguson to mow it several times throughout the year. My hubby says it's the same model Massey as yours, only it's red instead of blue. Lovin' this warm weather, by the way. I can hear the peepers as I write this. Ahhhh, spring!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791185232391134319noreply@blogger.com
