Pump, Percy and Onions

The temperature got into the upper 40s today, and everything is melting.  We used a new red pump to lift the hay baler and remove a tire for repair.   The first seedlings (onions) appeared under lights in the basement.

We don't normally allow cats on the kitchen table, but Percy is an exception.  He has poor kidneys, and needs an injection of fluids once a day.  He doesn't like this any more than anyone would, so the deal we worked out with him is that he gets to sit on the corner of the kitchen table (attractive spot since previously forbidden), and he gets fed while being "watered".  Percy has been wonderfully good about this, and even comes and gets us if we are late.
