SPRING CLEANING!!!!

And how does your garlic grow???
My once flooded outdoor arena is beginning to dry???? out.  It's a boot sucker at this point.
After morning chores, the dogs and I went for our walk.  As you can see, the muddy horses were sun bathing.

Gucci, where are you???

Joe is really asleep....

Not the Pony...she wants to know what is going on.

Tis the season for landscape shots.

After all the snow, rain and weather we have had, I am amazed by the dryness.

Gucci is turning into a tracker of varments!

So, let's head down the lane.

Sounds good to me!

This is literally a "covered wagon" that some farmer left on the side of a field.

The horses can't keep up with Gucci's whereabouts.

Even tho the sun is out and the temperature is rising, there is still ice in the shadow of the fence rails.

Finn had a fever and didn't go to school today.  Kevin had a dentist appointment, so the kids came up to the farm for a couple of hours.  After lunch they had some couch time.

When they left, I went outside and started on the second batch of bamboo.  Just how much can you put on one wheelbarrow?

After that was done (Gary helped me finish), we moved on to a forsythia bush that was way overgrown...3 more wheelbarrows....

Gary also attacked the front yard.

We have an enormous black walnut tree that drops hundreds and hundreds of nuts.  He raked them all into piles so we can get them off the grass.

I must say, things are starting to shape up.  There were so many sticks all over the place.

Then it was on to evening chores.  Masterpiece (looking his best) was anxious to come in to eat.

Believe me, I am tired!!!!  and tomorrow is another day....

Just one more thing....I want to welcome three new followers, THE FAR SIDE OF FIFTY, CHICKEN HERDER  and Nea from A NORTH EAST ANGLE.
