Is that even a sentence? There must be about four grammatical errors in that title! However: the broccoli is up. The cabbages, leeks, celery and onions are sown.
And the first wave of tomatoes have been sown too. The gardens have begun. No spring in sight but I can see the beginnings of the spring garden.
I let the sheep into the barn corridor yesterday to clean up all the bits of hay that fall when I am feeding out. Or feeding IN as the case may be. 
Mama is growing. But her babies still have plenty of room in there. I saw one doing a somersault as I was capturing this picture, I am surprised that her belly is in focus. 
I have taken Daisy back to twice a day milking for the mean-time. She is more of a twice a day cow. Her milk production remained very strong, and she just got skinnier. It is a difficult balance to try and get a cow to cut down on her production for once a day milking. And her problem quarter, that has been a problem since day one, began to act up. So I have had to rethink my objectives. She is happier and healthier coming in twice a day.
I have added a cup of kefir to her daily diet. I was given some kefir grains just recently so we are all drinking a cup of milky kefir each morning. If you are close by and want some grains let me know and as it grows I can collect some for you. The grains are hard to come by.
Decisions …
Decisions.
Decisions. 
Decisions. And all of them FUN. 
Have a lovely day.

Have a lovely day. Take care now.

Our weather here is so Topsy turvy that I’m just planting and hoping 🙂 have fun!
The new header is a beauty. The emergence of little seeds never ceased to thrill me. Am starting round two today. They make me feel a little of spring in my mind. Have a lovely Saturday. cheers… xwendy
I must restrain myself from starting my seedlings too early, will wait until end of month at the earliest. Had about 12 inches of snow from Nemo, should clear away the pile in front of the shed’s door before it freeze tonight. All my seed starting items are in the shed.
sell you don’t want to be snowed out of your shed!! c
