Another one of my sister’s images she did at my in-law’s place.

@PaulSMillerPhD It was a quite a surprise.

One of the perks of having a wife that does blacksmithing. One of her blacksmithing buddies won Forged In Fire and I got one of his knives for my birthday. He dropped it off last night.

@RogerPielkeJr Only glancing at it, but it is an interesting article. There are many layers to tech advancement in ag that the authors don’t cover. I think the ones that are most impactful to growers are ones they don’t even realize they have adopted (eg continual genetic seed improvement)

Nice place for an Easter morning hike.

@PaulSMillerPhD @agazdecki @FlatsOrSpikes Those were the days...

@SafeChem79 I thought we were friends... you'll give me tomato plants but not tape?!?

[William Northcott @Spatialrain]

@FarmChicJodi I can tell I'm getting old when a couple of my former students are giving presentations.

[William Northcott @Spatialrain]

@SafeChem79 Rustic for us tonight….

@RichCampbellJr I just saw that on the news, 51 and rainy on Thursday. That’ll make a nice sloppy mess and probably a little flooding on some of these small rivers around here.

[William Northcott @Spatialrain]

Getting ready for a wild ride tonight/tomorrow. I’m in the 15-30” band. I’ll get to try out my new snow shoes finally.

[eweather @Eweather13]

Updated snowfall map. Those locally higher amounts are in banding that is expected to develop. A big one is coming….
