It certainly has been nice for the past several days in eastern Tennessee. I have been working on my soil every day for the past week or so. Soil work for me is slow as I don't have a tiller. I love working outside anytime the weather is nice. I'm afraid there is over a month a winter left though and even come spring there is still the threat of a late season snow storm.I got my fingers crossed for continued mild weather though. (:

We hit 45 yesterday, but it's colder today. I am starting to think about spring. I even ordered fruit vines and trees. I will even be growing Kiwi this year. Just call me radical.

Robins don't dare come up here too soon, since 3 foot of frost prevents worms from getting to the surface.
