Spring photo shoot

Spring has finally started!

I look out my window (or go outside) today and it appears to me that it is shaping up to be a very nice spring.

The trees are budding, the daffodils are blooming...soon I'll need to start mowing the lawn; okay, so not everything is that great.
We've planted out some kale, chard, bok choy, cabbage, collards, onions, lettuce, broccoli, etc. Though, looking back at last year's records it seems that everything was planted out so much earlier.

The cows are not out on pasture yet, but the horses are and loving every minute of it (though they seem less than keen to drink out of a very nice little stream).
Isabelle (the pig) spends most of her day basking in the sun while listening to classical music, or whatever else CBC radio 2 has to offer.
 We have six calves so far this year: Boris, Barbra, Bette, Blaise, Barnaby, and Beryl :)
