The swing back to warmer weather is slowly but surely underway. Nature is taking its cues from the sun’s return to the north; as you can see in the photo the shift is dramatic. Back in late December the sun rose well to the south tucked to the right of the farm. Before long that sunrise will move out of our direct view entirely until next fall.
