Brad, those are some really great pictures. It must have been wonderful, I'm sure. The shock of returning to this cold climate and the reality of returning to work must be quite a downer. Soon your new seedlings will begin to sprout, and things will start looking better, I'm sure. My horses still have not begun to drop their winter coat. They always begin in January, even years ago during very cold winters. That has me thinking it's going to be a late spring here this year. We'll see. We got about 4 inches of new snow yesterday. Supposed to be -14 on Tuesday, and then a warming trend, up to 25!
Oh well, Thanks for sharing a bit of your trip.
