What Does Spring Mean to You?

We are down to six hens, after selling off our excess flock.
{Ironically we have 3 roosters...
2 are "free" to farm folks if you are in the neighborhood.}


And have more eggs than we need. 


Less is more.
God is good.


The chickens {and bunnies} are enjoying spring.  

And so am I.

However, with it, brings "wanderlust"...



I get it every Spring, 
after being in a 15 x 20 cabin, 
without TV or Internet over the long winter months.


This year, it's off the charts...

The urge to travel to Amish country is strong.



I can't seem to fight the urge.


But soon, I'll be visiting again.

Picking up piglets.


And lambs. 


I love Amish folks...and how they do business.



Until tomorrow, dear friends, God willing.

March... the Lamb cometh

 I think my brain is finally catching up with my surroundings.



 March started out like a lion...
 


...an angry lion.



But now...sultry, summer days have hit our "40".

85 degrees, over and over.

Days of Mustang training in the round pen now. 



I'm enjoying this brief break in the chores.



For soon, it will be a "party of one"...
as hubby Russ and Raz head out on a 3-week trail ride.
 


I'm excited for them.



And for the opportunity for me to "hold down the fort".



I hope you are enjoying seeing March come to a close,
and summer follow suit.

Until tomorrow, dear friends. God willing.

First Day of Spring

Today is the first day of spring.  

So hard to believe, with the temps being in the 80's this past week...


I'm not one to enjoy the heat, but I'm faring well.

My mind is on getting ready for summer.  

And the next season of livestock.





And sheep.



And our upcoming CCW {click here...  (Carry A Concealed Weapon) }
class with brother,
Mike Slomkowski.
Hope to see you there...



And more horse training...



And trips to visit the Amish.

Their auctions...



And their way of life.



So many adventures await.

And Zip and I are ready to explore.


AND, 
enjoy the quiet pace that only summer can bring.



Blessings to everyone, as you get ready for the next season of your life.

Until tomorrow, dear friends.  God willing...
