made it! yet again!

Meteorological spring rolled into the farm last midnight right on time, after closing out February on a warm note (15 degrees C., 60 Fahrenheit). All the snow has melted, yielding graciously to the snowdrop flowers that pop up all over our yard to make it official. It feels like spring, although it also did last year when we got clobbered by a foot of flakes March 3rd.

As soon as Jude comes back from exercising the dogs, she will cut my hair and I will shave the bottom part of my head to complete my spring shearing. Then I’ll soak and stew about current events. Trump really bared his ample ass yesterday, with Veep Vance trying to top (or bottom) him. It was disgusting, although I didn’t think it was a “screaming match”, as one news outlet termed it. Aging Orange’s approval rating has slipped below 50%. I think we’ll see some significant drop if the tariffs are imposed. A February 7th Ipsos poll found that 68% of Canadians thought less of the U.S. because of the tariff threat, 46% strongly negative.
