Today, as the temperature was a seemingly balmy 45 degrees, I decided to venture out. I cannot remember the last time I ventured out just to enjoy the day. If I did, it was with uncomfortable full winter garb on. I am feeling so tired of being cooped up in the house with the windows shut and freezing my buns when I have to go out to do chores! While outside I decided it was nice enough to let the chickens and ducks venture outside also. They loved it. The ducks played in a puddle and the chickens were looking at the outside like "we haven't been out here for a while". The goats and cows were just laying around soaking up the sunshine.
While out there I noticed some sure signs of impending Spring!! Yay! There are buds on the trees! It is muddy as ever around here, which I don't enjoy. The kids usually bring in plenty. The best thing I saw, though, was some little white flowers up and in bloom and my daffodils are starting to poke out of the ground!
With next week being the first day of spring and my self diagnosed seasonal affective disorder (spring fever) at its peak, I am DEFINATELY ready! I already have a list a mile long of things that need done outside like fences and better goat pen to house the mommas and babies away from Billy. We will also be starting round 2 of pasture reseeding. Tomorrow is looking to be a wonderful day, too, then it looks like back to cold temps. Double ugh! I love Iowa and everything that entails EXCEPT winter!!
I am still waiting on baby goat kids and keeping a good eye on her every day. When that finally happens I will be sure to post some new kid pics! I am hoping that I may even get to see the birth. If so, I am going to try and video.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
