Signs of spring

While I don't believe for a minute that we're done with snow for the winter, it is so nice to see (and feel) the temperatures rising, the snow in our yard is (nearly) all melted and the first bulbs are already blooming!  We've been enjoying this past week's warmer weather by heading out to work in the yard.

The older kids are working the ground to get it ready to plant our garden and preparing the little hen house for new chicks.

The little kids are enjoying some play time, but are also helping out quite a bit as well.

Our chickens are loving the warmer weather.

I loved enjoying our view while sipping my coffee the other morning.

One of the most exciting signs of spring?  New chicks!  Just a few; more will be coming later in the summer.
