Dry, dry ground out there...

Just came in from doing some clean up of the garden, cutting back dead stalks, clearing leaves and some weeds. Let me tell you I am seeing very dry conditions already. We need lots of Spring rains, didn't get nearly enough snow this winter.

Time for some tea. This old back of mine is going to complain tomorrow that's for sure.
