Closer to Spring

Sheeps & Peeps5 Comments

Slowly but surely we are inching closer to spring ~ the maple tree buds are swelling and  so are the daffodils.  The roadside wildflower coltsfoot are popping out and beginning to bloom.  The cardinals’ springtime dance has begun ~ with first a glimpse… a glance… a flit… and a flutter.
In just one short week, it will be official… it will be spring!

Signs of Spring

One sure sign of spring are Roger’s baby calves making the most of weekend sunshine. It was a blessing for both the four-legged and the two-legged creatures to have a full weekend of nice weather. We are doing our best to enjoy the neighbors’ new babies before we are caught up in thrill of our own lambing season.

Another sure sign of spring in our neck of the woods, is the emergence of the wildflower Coltsfoot. There was much excitement this weekend when the first yellow flowers were spotted along the roadside.
