Meet Star. 🐈‍⬛
Cats have unique personalities, and Star’s is all about bravery. Nothing scares him! He’s also very direct; when he wants love, he hops right onto your lap no waiting, no hesitation, no matter what you're doing.

Before this photo, he meowed 10 times until I opened the garden window. He never gives up! lol. Now that spring is here, he looks stunning against the apricot blossoms. 🌸✨

Mark Seeley writes,

"Agricultural soils have thawed and drained in most places and farmers are starting to work in coarse textured soils and medium textured soils. In fact, it is estimated that some small grains (mostly oats and spring wheat) have already been planted, while corn planting is just getting underway this week. Soils temperatures at a 4-inch depth are averaging in the upper 40s F to low 50s F around most of the state. Planting will begin at full throttle around the state the week of April 20th. Timely planting is so critical for many producers that they will often work 16 to 20-hour days to take full advantage of good spells of weather. This in part explains why you see so many headlights moving along farm fields at night during the spring."
