Of course, it doesn’t come in gradually. Today is in the mid 80’s, yesterday evening was 27 degrees. We had a family group from the Chicago area at the campground, so now they can say that they are officially below freezing campers! The grass is growing, the birds are singing, forsithia, firebush, serviceberry, and redbud trees are all showing forth their blooms, and the peacock is looking for a mate [along with a lot of our other animals]. We have 15 newborn goats on the ground just starting to jump and run, and the sheep are next. All in all, a great start to a new year.
