Spring is underway!

I can not wait for this weekend!

I absolutely can not wait!

After canning and preserving 16lbs of strawberries yesterday I realised it's time to till the garden area.

Than while doing the animal chores I got really excited to see the bunnies eyes opened.

I seen a grouse on the side of the road waiting to cross, I seen the 2 Turkey buzzards that have been stalking me, fighting on top of the deer blind.

The red tailed hawk must be sitting because I haven't seen her in 2 weeks~I know she's a her because last fall she took her baby out for a flight but it never came back.

Spring is sprung!

The geese are all over again, Robins, Red winged Blackbirds, Cardinals and Blue Jays all have been frequenting my bird feeders for the last 2 weeks.

I am very eagerly awaiting my 75 Daffodils to sprout and grow that I planted last year and saved all fall from the rotten squirrels.

Oh and squirrels galore~I think I counted 7 different babies trying to rip off my bird feeders.

Now if only all this mud would dry up, I have gardening to do.

Things are coming along.

Well the time of waiting is over.
Or was over on last Thursday.

Amelia rabbit gave birth to 9 rolley polley black and grey bunnies.

Now we have to get two more rabbit hutches built on top of the chicken coop, and the preperations for the goats and piglets we have on order.

We are super excited about the growth of our furry friends.

Abigale is due in another week than we'll really be in a crunch to get more hutches going.

Glory to him for putting us on this awesome path!
