The Crocuses are not up!

The days are warmer, the breeze feels nice as I walk outside and I might think spring is here, but the Crocuses have not shown yet. Not their grassy leaves, not their pretty little flowers, nothing. Even though I wish it were here, spring has not arrived. I look each day for the Crocuses but they are not here. It is going to shower tomorrow and the temperature is up a little, that might make them start to grow.

I have the large variety planted around a tree just outside the back door, beside the deck. I look every day when I take the dog out to her run. I am anxious. The winter has seemed to be forever. I am expecting another cold spell before the true warmth of spring. I will be patient - spring will be here soon.

Bruno is weaned finally. I fell when I was feeding him last Wednesday, almost into his pen. Good thing the fence held, and while I was laying against it, Bruno was sticking his nose through the spaces, sucking on any part of me he could reach. We are out of feed and I told my hubby that he could fix the milk and feed him if he bought more because I wasn't going to do it anymore. Thursday Bruno was weaned.

We opened the door so Bruno could go out of his pen and get some sunshine. I don't think he has gone out yet. He may need some encouragement next weekend. When we wean the calves in a month or so, Bruno will go with them. He will be part of a herd. He doesn't know what it is like to be with his own. He will learn.
