Sunday afternoon
Ah, yes Spring!

...lasted approximately seven seconds this year. 

It was less than two weeks ago that we were talking freeze warnings. And, this week the temperatures flirted with the 90* mark. I kid you not!


Now, it feels like we are smack-dab in the middle of the growing season with the to-do list growing by the moment.

  
So, this week’s walkabout is a somewhat abbreviated photo essay. Hope you don’t mind!

The week ahead promises lots of action. There are chickens to process, lambs to wean and more than  a few things to plant...

It's supposed to be hot. It's supposed to rain (almost every day). So, things might get interesting. 

Thanks for stopping by.

 Hope you'll "visit" again soon.

                           Have a GREAT week!

Have you ever heard the saying
"at the end of a Spring day
you should smell like dirt!" ?
Karma certainly has!

  1. Do wish we had bluebirds here.
    Love your photo blog Barbara - warm weather and rain - a combination that spells out lots of growing.

    1. Thank you, Pat!
      I didn't realize there weren't bluebirds in England. We have what I am assuming are several families. They're quite friendly and seem to like being photographed. You'll be seeing them often.
