Heading for the manure pile.
Ah yes. Well-spread cattle manure fragrant in the midday sun. Some find it offense, but to M and I, it means SPRING.

Rice field in the Dominican Republic. We aren't likely to see mountains in the background in U.S. rice producing areas (Arkansas, Louisiana, California).

Pleasant shot paulh. Speaks of better weather following two bothersome snow falls.

YES! YES! YES! But - - we have a general coating of about 30 inches of snow to melt away. Interesting: With baseball season approaching (about one month) they spread black sand atop the snow covering the playing field at Fenway. In a week, the extra sunlight/heat it absorbed has melted 30" of snow (it probably started over 60 inches, as Boston had more than double the snowfall we had, a near record at over 100 inches).

Actually, this winter is more or less what global warming should produce: warmer toward the poles (hence all the melting both Arctic and Antarctic); not much temp change in equatorial regions but perhaps more rain; with modest warming and generally tumultuous weather along mid-latitudes. Record and near-record cold and snow in the northeaster USA at the same time there's been no snow and temps in the 40's around Billings MT and well above average temps, below average snow in Alaska. Next winter the NE may be exceptionally warm & dry while Idaho, Montana, Dakotas etc. get clobbered. Just such extremes in "temperate" latitudes are what global warming should generate. Global warming deniers generally only see what is happening in their backyard this week, but compare averages across the entire country for several years and the pattern/trend is clear. However, one of my favorite platitudes: astonishing numbers of people are ferociously determined to believe almost anything other than the truth.

Kenyan cattle being driven down the road. All that I saw looked lean and bony.
