Spring is making its VERY slow arrival in our neck of the woods. It seems like for every warm day, we get 5 chilly, drizzly days. Just 2 nights ago our nighttime temps were flirting with the 20s. Today though, is one of those gorgeous, sunny, getting warm days that we have been looking forward to.

The grass is starting to turn green much to the delight of the horses.
The butterfly bush is making its promised comeback after the severe fall pruning it received.

The day lilies are looking positively lush in the morning sun.
Some trees are beginning to bud and lend the view out our windows a little color. It's amazing to think that in less than a month all of our trees will be in full leaf!

This is just a tiny tree among a bunch of larger ones. You can't even see it once its neighbors have grown leaves, but right now, it's the star!

The wood pile on the porch has dwindled and given way to...

Fishing gear. Trout season started over the weekend and the freezer is full once again with fresh caught fish.

Our new chicks arrived earlier this week and we are LOVING having babies in the kitchen again.

Tommy has once again taken the job of naming them. This one is Scraggles.


Aren't they just precious!!!!! Last year, out of 8, only 4 survived. We're hoping for better luck with these!

The baskets are lined up, ready and waiting to be filled with delicious goodies.

The most anticipated and important day of the season is quickly approaching. Are you ready?


HAPPY EASTER!
