Wow, it’s been 40 and rainy, then sunny and 75, then sunny, but 50 this week already. Spring is definitely here in Virginia!

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!

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.

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?
