Spring treats
The maples are blooming: Their flowers are falling: The chickens are ecstatic! Today really DOES feel like spring; it's supposed to be sunny all day and get up to 60 degrees (after frost last night). Woot!
Your new girls are getting so big! They are beautiful. My dad ordered some Speckled Sussex hens this year and I may be tempted to get some next year. They are lovely girls.
Oh woot is right. It doesn't look like that around here! It does in Ashland though. Lovely pictures, can I come and stay with you in the spring. I can muck! ;)
I only hope spring doesn't blossom too quickly into summer! LOL
I wanted to tell you that I got my new camera the other day. I followed your recommendation and am so glad I did! Still learning the ins and outs, but I'm really happy with it so far.
I'm a blogger - I love comments! Oh, and you DON'T have to check that box proving you're not a robot; you'll still be able to leave your comment without it!

ReplyDeleteAll the new girls are laying now. The Easter Eggers are my smallest hens; the Speckled Sussex are as big as my old hens. Everyone gets along well!
ReplyDeleteGreat spring photos :-)
ReplyDeleteOh man, your pictures make mine though to swallow. I will not be jealous, I will not jealous, I will not be jealous - okay, now I will.
