There is a sense of anticipation in the air around the farm. Last week it was cold and rainy. This week it has been warm and dry. The bees are starting to be active, the grass is starting to get a tinge of green at the tips, the fruit trees are about to burst forth in blooms and I've already seen some bugs flying around. Spring is almost here.
Along with the coming of spring are a whole host of tasks... herd maintenance, pasture maintenance, shearing, garden preparation and planting. I can't wait to work in the warmth!
So, now that we have survived Punxsutawney Phil's wintry prediction, we get on with enjoying the pleasant warmth that comes this time of year! Happy spring to everyone!
