easing into Saturday

Yet another beautiful sunrise this morning. Sorry, no picture, I was too busy walking and gawking. Streaks of white cut across the pastel blue, pink and yellow beginnings of the morning.

Birds were singing. Robins, finches, redwing blackbirds and some sort of flocking birds were flitting about the neighborhood. A calf in the pasture across the road from us scampered wildy about the field while the more mature cows and bulls sedately grazed. Yesterday I planted peas, a few varieties of lettuce, and radishes. Today we are planting some blueberry bushes, rhubarb, irises and lilies.

And grass.

So that the next time Joshua is here he can run through the nice soft grass in Grandpa and Granny's back yard.
Have a great weekend everyone. Don't forget to 'spring ahead '- as I am sure you would do if you found this cow behind you!

I am so aMOOsed by the MOOving scenery in this place where you have MOOved. Something like that MOOving around the northwoods would be shot and packaged in someone's freezer quietly during the night. A friend who moved here from your area recently commented on how she thought we are all sort of hicks up here. I guess we are, if it means appreciating a good piece of meat or a big wood pile. Longing for spring. Linda

We do, Becky. Two legged and four legged.

Linda, come see us and you will get a taste of spring. With a hint of manure in the air! And believe me, there are plenty of hicks around here - including us.
Amoosing! Love it!


Yep, granny.
