Spring Is In The Air

I forgot about this pot of Hen and chicks but they seem to be reviving, that was a nice surprise.

New leaves. Makes one giddy after what seemed like a long winter.

Nature's Mood Enhancer

I just can not stop from being happy right now! The weather is beautiful, as if to say that Spring is on it's way. In a month or so there will be a surprise coming to Redbud and it makes me so giddy. I wish I could tell you what it is but then it would not be a surprise but it has me smiling from ear to ear.

The chickens were all in an angry mood this morning, not sure exactly why, but hopefully the sunshine will brighten their attitude a bit as the day goes on. Over the last few days we have had some escape artists. Funny thing about those birds, they find a way out of the run and immediately start looking for a way back in. Thankfully one of our dogs, Sunny, is a herder and she kept them safe and gathered for me while we got them all back inside their domain. A couple of them were following me and just talking like crazy, it was like they were saying "It was not my idea, she did it." They are all safe and sound and I think we have corrected the problem that led to the break out.

We have our first bloom of the season!! I will be outside a lot today doing much needed chores and I will have my trusty camera at the ready for signs of Spring to share in the next post. Until then I hope all of you have a beautiful day and keep smiling.
