In the Cariboo it's scary dry. Almost all my snow is gone, except a few shady spots. I'm at just over 1000m elevation and normally at this time I should still have a foot or more. The melt brough on mud, but even the roads are drying out. The ground does not have much moisture. If this keeps up and we don't get a wet spring, it could be a very dry spring and summer ....which is never good.

Wishing you a good spring!

This winter has been a long one! Even here at the coast we are still having rain and cold weather. Some years ago I remember taking the convertible out, top down in February. Not so this year, she’s still under cover.

Love your new sweater. Very becoming!

Soon your greenhouse will be operational and your garden area will be keeping you busy, and you’ll forget all about the long winter you had to endure.

Take care

I'm curious since I know next to nothing about tanning hides, but how do you use egg in the tanning process?

Here’s a write up about tanning bunny hides! The leitchen in egg yolks does the magic https://open.substack.com/pub/amyjay/p/tanning-rabbit-hides?r=17e8xb&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
