Fire & Ice
Yesterday, the farmer burned his field in preparation for planting summer wheat. (A normal function.)

Also, yesterday, we turned on the sprinkler system for the first time this year. It watered the lawn during the night ... when the temperature dropped to an unseasonably low of 26 deg.

Jacquie's hyacinths look like they are made of glass, but it's actually just a coating of clear ice from the sprinklers.
