It was calm, clear and the sun was shining this morning.  I was off work today so opted for coffee on the back deck.  The only sound I heard was being made by the red wing blackbirds.

I was not out there very long when the deer wandered into the yard.  They went straight for the grain tub.  I stood up to watch and they didn't mind.  Shortly after the deer left, a horse from the farm behind my yard, walked along the fence line.  I brought some carrots and watched him munch 4 of them.

The day was beautiful.  I dug up the raised garden and flower beds.  The strawberry patch was turning green but more so from the dandelions than the strawberry plants themselves.  

I drove into town to visit the greenhouse and came home with some bedding plants, saskatoon bushes and virginia creeper vines.  Three cubic yards of dirt is being delivered on Wednesday.  Let the planting begin.
