Sunrise through the Jack Pines

Finally used the new steam cleaner at the dairy.  Delay was waiting for the electrician to rewire a plug in and then the dealer asked to borrow the machine for a local farm show.  We tried first to use it instead of using the usual foamer & scrub brushes.  It works but takes longer.  Then realized that your hands begin to tingle after using it for awhile (it has lots of power).  Also, true to it's name, the steamer produces a lot of steam.  (dah)  The parlor could have doubled as a spa's steam room.    Despite all of that, before leaving for the day, I had a smile on my face as I stood just gazing again on the steam cleaned areas.   The door to the parlor opened and there was Mike.  He had finished his final cleanup tasks and wanted one more look too.   No more yellow scum!   We felt like a couple of little kids on Christmas morning.

Very pretty picture.

Any birds back from their migration yet?

We saw around 300 ducks and canada geese circling around a marsh on Saturday. I think they were making a pit stop on their way up further north.
