Red Truck Farm on the hill: signs of Spring

Welcome Spring! Although I was still holding out for just one more snowfall, I am eager to welcome Spring. It's amazing how quickly your mood can change when the mercury hits 50 degrees, when you experience your first morning of birds chirping, when the tulips emerge from the ground, and when you still see daylight at seven o' clock in the evening. We celebrated the first weekend of Spring with beautiful weather, yard work, kids playing in the pasture and yard, permanently pulling the horses blankets off, and the horses gaining access to the back pasture that has now dried out enough to support their hefty weight. The hens are laying beautiful eggs of chocolate brown, blue, and light brown. They have made a new nest in the barn and lay their eggs next the to the bales of hay. The flock will lurk around the barn door as if waiting their turn in the "ladies room". Mr Easter bunny has even found himself a home just outside our front door.
