SUN!

Sorry, did not mean to shout. SUN. Oops there I go again!

but we had the most perfect sunny windless day. Naturally I opened all the windows and doors and spent most of the day outside.

That is Tilly on the right, well you knew that, she is still into the panda eyes look. She is the most voracious lamb I have ever raised .. a real wild child!

Can we take the snow plow off now ChgJohn? Or is it too early to tell. Tui thinks No, she uses it as a step to get up onto the bonnet.

The rathouse paddock looks very calm as it waits for the grass seed to sprout.

This is another view we will not have for long, as soon as the trees leaf out The Coupe will be hidden. Perfect.

Did I tell you the date for the new bees has been changed to April 23. It has been too cold and the bees have not been breeding as fast as usual. So my little hives wait.

Daffodils in the last of the snow keeping cool and moist.

There is a hint of green in the lawn.

Good morning. Everyone came back home last night, so today we are back into fencing and picking up the last of the hay, Queenie and her crew are moving off the field into a smaller area North of the barn to wait for the grass to grow, so they get  a new round bale.

If this warm trend continues we should be able to graze Pat’s paddock in about 5 weeks. This time of the season is so hard. Waiting for the fields to grow. I need 6 inches, then out comes the electric fence and they will begin their summer rotation. Their introduction to green grass is staggered to avoid any bloat. Don’t worry I will be careful. But I am getting ahead of myself, there is no green in the fields yet.!

Have a lovely day.

love celi

PS This time last year I was making Hot Chocolate and watching the stock eat grass. And after reading this post it looks like the grass this year is about a month behind.  But it was already terribly windy and I am happy to miss out on three weeks of wind.
