Rites of Spring

Spring has strung up here on the 5 mile praire. Its been raining alot, which has softened the ground tremendously. We have started to plan our gardens for later in the spring, tomatoes, wheat, potatoes, squash, strawberries, ect. The rotters havent been much of a problem, only a few sporradic attacks. I went into town yesterday, to check on the house and St. Johns, the letter I wrote is still tacked to the door. I guess we will just have to wait and see if anyone comes back.

Oh, I almost forgot, today is Thomas's 5th birthday, we made a simple cake and we brought him some toys we found in town. It was a good day... for once...
