Signs of Spring

Yesterday I had a very nice laundry day.  Every line was completely full.  I did not get all the rugs washed as planned, but got all the barn cat bedding washed and put back.  It was nice to see Timmy in one of the boxes this morning, sleeping peacefully.



The baby goats had outside playtime.  They love to run and play.  By the time I got out there to film them, they were pretty tired.



And they got pretty hungry too.  Peanut is being a good Mom.


I was blessed with front porch time yesterday, and this robin kept visiting the tree nearby.  That robin sat there and sat there.  I was talking to it (yea, I know) and it just sat there.  So, I went back in for my camera and snapped this one shot before it flew away.  Later it came back again.  Most likely looking for food, but coming very close to me (odd for a bird).  I am surprised to see so many after such a brutal winter too.  In fact, we've already see small swarms of mosquitoes too.


Timmy curled up next to the porch, in one of the herb gardens, soaking up the sunshine.  We discovered he was punctured by something (not a broken leg or sprained).  He has pulled off the hair on his leg and it has an infection of some sort in it.  So far, his wound appears to be healing.  


I'm seeing signs of spring in my flower gardens - Daffodils.  I also see a few tulips popping up. I do need more tulips.  Maybe this fall I can get more bulbs in the ground. 

Today is an indoor work day.  It's not raining too badly yet, but they forecasted "heavy" rains today.  I am thankful it's raining today.  We spotted a bald eagle in the woods nearby yesterday.  The chickens and baby goats are safely inside today.  One the kids spotted a fox a few weeks ago too.

Wonderful to see Spring has sprung at your place. The kids must be fun to watch. Glad you got some front porch time!

Your goats are adorable!
I worked outside all day yesterday since we had thunderstorms in the forecast...not a drop of rain :/ I'm forced to stay inside today and get what I didn't do yesterday done, even though it's going to 80+ degrees today!!!

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
