There is nothing better than a blue-skied, sunny, spring morning.
Yesterday, though terribly windy, was spectacularly sunny.
A sunny morning puts a little spring into everyone's step.
Here is just a short video to illustrate...
[link to video if needed]
Can you believe how green the grass has gotten?
The ground is finally drying out...
enough that Jack started some of the mowing yesterday.
He mowed my garden,
while I finished weeding my garden boxes.
All of the raised beds are now ready to be planted.
I had a question yesterday about the tomato plants in my greenhouse.
Yes, some of the trays have some "twins".
I will just allow those twins to grow together,
and will stake them up together when planting.
I've done this in the past with tomatoes from the greenhouse,
and have had no problems.
I did, however, replant the tomatoes into much larger pots.
This way, they can continue to grow in the greenhouse
until it is warm enough to plant them outside.
I may end up with an early crop of tomatoes as a result.
[hoping]
While I was in the garden weeding,
Tom turkey came down to visit.
You may have read earlier this week
that Tom seemed under the weather.
Happily, as of yesterday, he was back to his perky old self.
When the weeding was done, we brought the horses back in from
the pastures.
Moonie is up to his usual tricks...
insisting he can make his way back to the barn all by himself.
And so he does...
and right into his stall.
He only stays in his stall until he has eaten his
vitamin supplement... then back out into the dry lot with the others he goes.
He's a good old boy.
In actuality, though, the worst thing that could happen
to him would be to be separated from his herd.
So, he happily returns to the barn and the company of family.
Here we are at the end of another week.
I hope you weathered this week of social distancing.
And I hope you are well.
I plan to fill my weekend with adventures here on the farm.
We'll be back to share them with you on Monday.
Til then... be safe.

After months of being surrounded by a monochromatic landscape,
I am so energized to be outside surrounded by all of this green!

Your post brings a calm to my heart. Such beauty on your farm, and looks like all your animals are happy. Loved the video. Would like your permission to paint one of them.
