You Know it's Spring When....

Backyard Shenanigans
The kids are actually seeking refuge from the lambs!

My Favorite Tree Is now in Bloom!

Part of the Backyard Scene
See how tall the grass is under the trampoline?
Holy Moly!
Lambs, chickens, cats, kids.
Oh my...

The Far Away View
Dang that grass!
Its grows
It gets cut
It gets raked
Repeat
It's needs water
But it sure is gorgeous!

These are the signs of Spring at Casa de Sexton:

1. The apple trees are blossoming and smell so good!
   
2. The grass is super tall and we can't keep Mr. Deere on top of it - or a mower person. We mow in sections.. It can be a daily chore.
   
3. The grass needs to be raked.... and 'raker people' are hard to come by!
   
4. The bummer lambs follow you everywhere - and the kids seek refuge on the trampoline
5. The chickens are very chatty and like to get into the piles of raked grass
   
6. Bottle feeding schedule is out of control! GADS... 6 am for all 10 (2 babies died yesterday); 11 am for the babies, noon for the big ones, 4 pm for the babies, 6 pm for big ones, 8 pm for the babies.
7. We just could not get away for a decent outing yesterday.. Due to #6, and yard work.. The kids and I had hoped to go swimming! Another day...
   
8. More chicks are arriving this Thursday... Mr. Sexton is building the pasture poultry house! Yeah!
   
9. The town/shopping list includes:

• Claritin D
• Eye drops
• Wasp Spray
  
• 4 bags of chick starter
• Lamb pellets
  
• 3 bags of layena
• 2 bags of lamb milk replacer
• Coffee (lots, please!)
• Lots of fun ice creams and the makings for root beer floats

Yep! Spring has sprung!
