Wow, it’s been 40 and rainy, then sunny and 75, then sunny, but 50 this week already. Spring is definitely here in Virginia!
My camellia doesn't seem to be growing very fast, but it's blooming it's little heart out!
We have 13 lambs now (and only 2 girls!) all healthy and happy. Unfortunately we had one stillborn from a set of twins just the other day. We weren’t there immediately, so I’m not sure exactly what happened. The smaller one (a little girl!) survived though, and is leading her momma on quite the little merry-go-round to keep up with her out there!
Female goldfinch, I believe. The rain brought the little birds a'worming like crazy the other day!
The flowers are budding and blooming…the grass is poking up…and even old Hokie was galloping around the other day like a colt (for about 5 minutes, anyway). The kids have been itching to get out and get dirty and it’s about that time of year when I just give up on the mopping. A mudroom is great for saving our living room (most of the time) but our kitchen-dining room get hit pretty hard regardless.
The nursery pen is in full stride every minute of the day right now!
This weekend we’ll be adding new layers to the barns, weeding the flower beds (oh my poor, poor neglected flower beds!), and cleaning up a cabinet from the garage that’s headed for the upstairs bathroom.
Do you have big plans for the weekend?
Yep. We’ll be moving everything up down and all around. Sigh….
Our daughter sold one of her cows last fall to my uncle. That cow has had 5 calves for her. The cow finally gave up and had twins last week. One lived the other one was “rejected” by the mother and ended up getting laid on. But we have lost a set of twins. The cow was bred when we bought her, apparently to a really big calf producing bull. She just couldn’t deliver and we weren’t there to help her. Sad!
Oh yes, Spring has sprung! We have trees budding and flowers blooming! I pray it doesn’t freeze again.
My plans this weekend! To paint my bedroom, sort through our clothes that I want to donate, pack up a box of keepsakes to put in the attic, and LAUNDRY.
