Spring has sprung. If in doubt, ask Dennis. The Koi pond is filled with city water and will be pumping away for a few days to make sure the chlorine has dissipated before the Koi go in. Later in the day he went to the far east lot line and burned off the plume grass left from last year so the new growth can spring forth as the temps get warmer.

The real blessing that Dennis and I are so thankful for is that this is the first spring in many we did not have to evacuate the garage porch due to fast thawing snow while the ground was still frozen causing the porch to flood. What a treat to enjoy these days while actually being in the garage porch. Life on Stauffer is good.
