Spring has finally arrived! This last winter had been unbearably long! Today, the sun was shining, there is NO snow left anywhere on the farm and some flowers and plants have started to grow. Above is a picture that I took around Easter...but I think of baby chicks when I think of spring! JJ made this bird nest and baby bird hatching out of a egg at Kindergarten. I thought it would be fun to put a real chick by the pretend, yellow one. The baby chick didn't think it was as fun...but managed to stay put for long enough for me to snap a picture!
This should be a big week at the farm. We are hoping our bees will arrive early this week. Jay is all ready! Below is a picture of him modeling his new bee suit!
We get to pick up Patrick and Smokey on Saturday. The pasture/paddock area is almost ready. Mr. Jim got some gates put up and J has to do a little more work to make the fence 'goat ready.' I'm sure we will be all set by Saturday.
My favorite part of this weekend (besides sharing many smiles, hugs and laughs with my friends from HS during a little mini-reunion on Saturday night) is right now! I'm writing this blog entry while sitting in a comfy, wooden rocking chair on our front porch. I'm watching Pickle ride his tri-cycle and JJ is perfecting his bike riding (mothering multi-tasking at its best) He learned (in about one hour) how to ride a 2-wheeler on grass, gravel and brick! He is now all-terrain. Oh and...farmer J is making us all supper on the grill!
Goodbye winter...hello spring!
