Spring Time Joys


Yesterday morning yet another new foal was born. This makes two this past week. Such a joy to see the a new baby romping along the green grass around their mothers.

Sunday I had my first sighting of a hummingbird!!! My absolute sign of WARM weather is here. Jamie was sitting with a shirt that had a bit of red on it and that beautiful hummingbird came right up to her to say hello! I know they must be hungry from their long flight, so I filled and placed my feeders out for them to have a great meal.

But two days of looking in the timber no more mushrooms found... must be a shortage this year.

So having all these signs of Spring, we felt the garden must get in while the sun was shining. Monday gave way to many seeds planted and 30 tomato plants and a few other plants set out as well.

Clothes drying on the line... sheets smelling of fresh sunshine air in the breeze.

Grass and weeds pulling and hoeing of the flower beds and new mulch to place.

Great joys of a wonderful season change in the Midwest.
