Spring is close.  Oh so close.  Everywhere I look there are signs of spring.  Rhubarb is peeking through the dirt.  Tulips are springing up.  And the strawberries are coming up through their protective mulch.  Even the weeds are sprouting EVERYWHERE!

We started digging in the garden today.  Corrine and I.  She looked for her worm family.  Mama turned some wet compacted clay soil.  It amazes me that after so many years of amendment and compost there is still so much clay.  She was excited to plant some seeds.  I had to disappoint her and tell her we weren't quite ready.

But we're getting close!
