Happy Mother's Day 2018!

We had a lovely day here on the farm for our traditional Mother's Day wagon ride and picnic.  We do this most years and for me the best part was just sitting still in the warm sunshine for a while.

Our world is many shades of green these days - some spring flowers are beginning to bloom but mostly it's green out there and it is beautiful.

The chicks that hatched last weekend are doing very well, and the broody hen who has been patiently doing time in the Summer Coop has been rewarded with three little ones to care for.  It's amazing how little they are compared to the ones that are just a week older!

We moved Julio and then hens out to the Summer Coop Friday night but left behind one hen who had decided it's her turn to brood.  

The kids are growing fast too, and enjoy climbing n this mound of dirt and old brush.

From left to right, that's Snow, Periwinkle, and Soot.

Next week we should have some pig news to share and maybe can catch you up on what's happening with the field work.  Until then, be well friends!
