Spring has Sprung!

I do believe that spring has sprung here!


In just one day's time, our fruit trees went from this,


to this!  So, so lovely!


The honeybees were in heaven!  The whole tree was humming... unfortunately, it would seem that bees are camera shy!  I tried and tried to capture them and only ended up with this shot.  Some nature photographer I'd be!  


As I mentioned in my last post, we were super-blessed to have our oldest son Nate, who is a chaplain's assistant in the Army at Ft. Benning, GA, home last week with the young lady that he is courting!  Oh my, did we have fun!

Aren't they an adorable couple?!!


The boys are *so* happy to have their big brother home!  There was swinging...



and barrel rolling,  hey don't laugh, its great cheap fun on the farm!  LOL!



And, to top it all off, we have baby goats!  Yay!






I am totally smitten with these little baby goats!


Yesterday we took them out in the field... I wanted to try to capture their silly jumping.  They are so funny, randomly leaping for joy...





A final group hug before bidding goodbye to Nate and Jamie...


Back soon with photos from our trip to Arizona and Utah... including the much anticipated (LOL!) full skydiving report!  Whoo Hoo!

Happy spring, friends!  Isn't God good?

  4. we had a preview of spring this past week, with weather in the 60's! which for Maine and it
    only being March is very odd!! but I loved it. Sadly though when I woke this morning there was snow on the ground.., but like we say here in Maine " if you don't like the weather wait a minute

  6. What a fun post my friend! How wonderful to have had that special time with Nate and the young lady he is getting to know...God is Good. And Spring...well...soon, I'm thinking. I heard the frist song bird the other morning, and the trees are budding, but no blooms yet. :) And your flight...yes, I am looking forward to the full report.

    Have a great day Susan!
    Love,
