Almost Spring

Things are starting to bloom out here! We've got the tiniest patch of wildflowers and some trees are starting to bud. Last year, we had a late freeze and then the driest spring, so we didn't get to see the beauty of the season, but I think we will this year. 

In the meantime, we're watching our own projects bloom. The kids are growing quickly and have started the process of weaning already. They're taking to the hay like champs and aren't scared that drinking water will melt them, so they're coming along. 

The coos have got their system down to a science now. Ciarán leads the way to the barn for meal time and the rest follow suit. Fiona is still technically the lead cow on all things except when the grain is being fed, then Ciarán wants to be first in line. 

The donkeys and I have an evening stroll each night to the barn as our little special time with each other. It's the only time of the day they don't have to compete with all the others. 

The barndo is still coming along with wires going every which way. Between this week and next, they and the plumbers will finish up their work and then we're on the download slide. We're so ready!
