I really dislike it when “life” gets in the way. There is a lot to update on the farm…I will let the pictures do the talking.
Five of the six Originals
Riesling and her man Benedict!
Jag….one of our Buff Orphington / Rhode Island Red mixed roosters…very handsome!
The Muppets and Chardonnay!
Benedict checking out his progeny!
As the sun came out, so did those who inhabit this hilly forest…..
The Muppets, testing their feet on the green grass.
Not too sure about this…
Hey Ma!!! It’s still a little cold out here!!!
Penni watching over the youngest flock.
The Muppets following mama with no boarders!!
…and the trees decided it was time to make their long awaited appearance….
The first Cherry Blossoms!
Apple trees
Beautiful Pear Trees
…but the Chestnut trees are still in that “groggy” state right before they wake up! The first pasture’s grass needing to be mowed down is completed (only 8 more hilly acres to go…uuggh..but also 🙂 …..
The back hillside is mowed….to be repeated at least 4 more times this season….
….producing this lovely, lovely product….
All these cuttings and not a single goat, cow, horse, or rabbit to feed it too…
…hhhmmmmm maybe we need to rethink this……
Our neighbor’s horse!
…but I don’t think we are quite ready yet…the good extra work of spring has worn us all out…
Tired old Tucker
Karli catching some rays in the warmth of a beautiful spring day.
Hank, the cat, kicking back on Easter.
Tito and Lilly
…but the epitome of being worn out due to excessive spring-like-I-can’t-believe-the-sun-is-out behavior goes to….Penni!!!
What a day!!!
I hope you all had a wonderful and blessed Easter!! Enjoy the burgeoning springtime!!!
