Gettin' Tired of This.......

Just when the ground even starts to think about drying up a little, more rain falls. Not just normal rains either. Usually three to four inches at a time. I've taken to wearing my 'high water pants', especially when slopping out to the barn in the middle of the night to check on those two ewes who are still holding out.

Redbud's burst out overnight

Lovely Lemon Balm in the planters by the steps. Weeding them is a pleasure when your hands come away lemon scented!

Evening Primrose & Spearmint vie for growing room by the steps.


A sight to warm a Shepherd's heart. New growth on the lower pasture.

Spring is upon us at last. Twelve or more inches of rain over the last several weeks has filled ponds and wells, and given the grass more water than it needs to produce this kind of lushness. Now for a few warm sunny days, and there will be no more need for hay.
