Hard to believe that just three weeks ago we were buried with two feet of snow. Winter made a mellow exit this weekend here in New England. Spring's arrival today capped a stretch of blissful warmth and sunshine. All creatures appear to be celebrating the change in season, though we're due for grey skies and cooler days for the start of this week.
The sheep enjoying a quiet morning in the pasture.
Neighbor's ducks, grateful for the spring melt.
Red-winged blackbirds, epaulets in full display, atop each tree. The farm is ringing their calls along with the cries of the killdeer who returned late last week.
It will really begin to feel like spring here within a week or so when our first lambs arrive – hopefully by next weekend. Stay tuned as we prepare shift gears from calm to chaos. I promise to post shots of our newest arrivals.
What are the signs of spring in your neck of the woods?
