My boy enjoying the sunshine.

Bella LOVES her shade shelter.

Look at all the green in the front yard!

Partners in crime checking in with each other.

Trees? Chewed? Where?

Oh… THIS is a tree…?

I wondered why the sled seemed to be pulling ‘back’ on me! 😉

The jennies hanging out on the hillside.

Bravo Daffys!

Paco snoozing in the sunshine.

Bella follows the shade.

Sunshine and daffodils – bliss!

Sun, sun, Mr. Shining Sun won’t you shine on me!

Daffy Garden Blooms

Teeniest violet!

Looking out from the hillside to the front paddock.

Bella keeps an eye on me when I go wandering in the woods.

First dog toothed violet bloom.

Trilliums are just about ready to burst!

If you knew how many MORE pictures I took you’d be impressed at my self discipline in only posting … twenty three of them. 😉 Talk about resilience … the daffodils stood back up today. Tossing off yesterday’s snow like the spring pros that they are. The trilliums are ready to burst – I’m betting tomorrow afternoon I’ll find some of their first blooms. The first dog toothed violet bloomed today AND I found the teeniest tiniest little violet blooming in the grass on the hillside. The bloom was the size of my little fingernail! The donkeys enjoyed the breeze and the sunshine. The temperatures are still cool enough that there are only the occasional blackflies flitting around. Bella is the early target but she is very cooperative in letting me coat her ears inside and out with bug cream. Darby is pretty patient about that as well. Rosie … well … I practically have to ride Rosie to get her to let me get near her ears with the stuff. She is not one for ‘smelly’ ointments. And Paco – well – I’ve resigned myself to his bravado regarding bug bites. Hope Spring made her presence known in your neck of the woods too!
