It actually got into the mid 70s today! The winter rye has escaped from the pastures and was growing about 18" tall around the house so I mowed (well, actually, shredded with the tractor) the yard for the first time since fall. It looks better despite my crude maintenance. The chickens and pigs were pleased to be thrown some of the clippings; their pastures are pretty bare. I hope this weather is the start of a new trend!
