Good Monday!

I am pretty sure we just made it through the last weekend of winter.

Yes, I know that spring arrived weeks ago...

but Ole Man Winter just refused to give up!

Besides awakening to temperatures in the 20's on both 

Saturday and Sunday,

we even had a few snow flurries on Saturday. 

I am pretty sure this crazy cold has now moved back north where it belongs.

Thankfully!

So, tell me...

have you been seeing more songbirds this spring than usual?

Because...

for some strange reason, this year we are seeing more migrating

songbirds than any year ever before.

This past weekend, whenever I would look out of a window,

I would see a Baltimore Oriole.

In the past, they have been rather shy.

I would see one or two males here and there around the farm.

This year, however, I see at least four males (as well as their mates)

at a given time in close proximity to each other-

typically hanging out at either our platform feeder-

the Oriole nectar feeder-

and even the hummingbird feeders.

We literally are inundated with colorful birds.

It's crazy.

I love it!

We had a wonderful weekend here on the farm.

I used the frigid temperatures on Saturday as an excuse to stay

indoors and work on a knitting project.

Sunday, all of our kids connected with us via Face Time.

It was great to visit with all of them...

a perfect Mother's Day given the current circumstances!

Sunday, (it took that long for the shed floor to harden)

Hubbs and I worked on the walls of the shed.

I have to say, things are really starting to shape up.

I love the floor!

I still have to trim out the windows and doors,

and build windowsills.

I may be able to begin moving things into the space

by the coming weekend.

I am going to do a video of the final room,

after everything is finished.

Stay tuned!!

Hug #2 is ready to be sent out.

It is freshly laundered and wrapped for mailing.

I will pull a random name tomorrow from comments

that you left me with the previous giveaway.

If you didn't comment then, but would like to be included,

leave me a comment today and I will add your name to the hat!

This is a small scarf/wrap that can be worn several ways.

 It is just big enough to give you a little warmth over your

shoulders on a chilly day....

or, if worn with the point in the front, makes a very warm winter scarf.

Today's job is to move these two gals to one of the barn stalls

in preparation for their shearing appointment tomorrow.

It's never an easy task, getting them to the barn...

thankfully getting them back to their yard afterwards is a piece of cake.

Wish us luck!
