Early Spring

It is getting warmer, the air smells sweet, and there is green popping up all over.  The chickens are laying eggs and the alpacas are very excited about all the new grass.  Kitty is losing her winter coat and Ember and Piper love mud.

Sage flower:

A dozen regular eggs and one shaped like a little pear:

First asparagus harvest!

The alpacas were enjoying the sun, the green, and the flowers:

Piper is getting bigger, but still pretty sits like a dumpling:

Dogs and alpaca under the plum blossom:

Ember takes good care of Piper:

Piper loves water so much:

Ember loves sunbathing:

Sleeping ladybugs hidden in the fir branches:

Adventure alpacas looking for the best grass:

Dove nest:

Trillium:

The forest floor starting to come to life again:

Some big fallen trees after the snows:

Hello frog!

The stream isn't rushing furiously like it does right after the snow melts, but it's quite full:

Happy water dog:

Happy running dog:

Looking down from the south edge of our farm:

You do you, beautiful tulip.  I love your bendy stem:

Egg oddities:

The big egg at first looked like it had one regular yolk and one white yolk:

But the white yolk was another egg forming inside the first!  With another egg inside that one!

Bees and blooms:

Ladybugs maintaining their population:

Yum!
