It is that time of year that I always looked forward to. While the weather could still remain unstable temperature wise, any snow that comes from here on out is usually short lived.
April first was always the TRUE first day of spring for me as a trout fisherman. I had stood in snow up to my knees and I have stood on the bank in short sleeves. I remember one year fishing along the West Canada in a snowmobile suit, a ski mask that covered half my face, and building a fire to warm my hands. When that first fresh trout of the season hit the skillet with a bit of butter it was all worth it.
We are still having some cold nights on and off, but spring is here for the most part. I have mowed twice and anxiously await the time when I can safely put Kathy's pepper plants in containers for her to watch and tend to near the back door. A garden? Still up for debate. The urge is still there although year after year I always say I will NOT put in a garden, the smell of fresh tilled soil, and seeing the veggie plants out at the stores and nurseries win me over in the end. I have a lot of work to do in repairing some of the lawn and restoring grass in spots, so we will see how that goes. I have another month before people put plants in the ground here.
