There was a whole lot of melting goin' on at Ramsay today!  Temperatures reached the mid-50s by early afternoon after a blustery morning, and by mid-afternoon, these dagger-like icicles, which had been hanging off the farmhouse roof on both sides of the deck, came crashing down.  Fortunately, no one was hurt!

Sherry and Geo were here for part of the day.  Geo cleared snow from the outdoor fireplace area, among other jobs.  Stephen coordinated with them, completed some office work, and ran some errands in the afternoon.

The snow is passable now in the pastures--except in areas where it was drifted, the 14 or so inches are down to about 6 or 7.  It's amazing how quickly snowy fields can turn into muddy fields when the sun stays out and the temperatures rise!
