Spring.........Sunny 40's

We're almost as busy as the bees!

Farm adventures ...windy..sunny.. 70's

Finally got to put Flossie and babies out on pasture. We've been in a spell of thunderstorms for 2 weeks now. So between that and all the other spring activities going on, this was their first outing in the pasture. 

Here they are at  2 weeks old today!

After a brief examination of the grass they decided, grass is nice but milk is best!

Pigeon project...growing

Amarillo and Hollywood's newest babies have hatched
and this time we knew to get the bands on in time!

And look  what we have here! finally the other two (here since last Oct.) have decided to nest.
The loft is filling up.

Spring has sprung!

Spring has finally sprung in our neck of the woods. And although the Jonquils are done, many other wild things are coming along. The wild fruit trees are beautiful, these are wild plum blossoms. They grow all over the mountains here, and only make a fruit the size of a nickel. But cooked and strained they make a delicious, TART, jelly or pancake syrup. The May Apples emerged this week and grew 4 inches in one day. REALLY! Redbud is out too . And most dreaded for allergy sufferers,  Maple blossoms. And of course farm babies are a Springtime event.

The adventures of Valerie And Grace...cloudy cool

I gave Valerie and Grace a pedicure before their leaving for their new home. Since this is a job much easier done on the milking stand (easier on the human back, that is) I let them play there afterwards.



                                                 
And these are their final pictures, loaded in their new accommodations for their trip to Missouri. Notice each one is checking on the whereabouts of her sister.
