Such Change

Yesterday.... 

But today was all rain all day;

Redbuds here.

Pussytoes!

Lower pasture.

Morning.....

Brighid....

Evening.....

New Chickies Arrive

Bielefelder pullets, just a few hours old-

the white on the beak is the egg tooth.

Three Coronation Sussex chicks, about two weeks old,

somewhere underneath which are two Bielefelder chicks, about a week old.

According to Grace, this picture makes the Sussex look like giants.

Actually they are tiny, but the Bielefelders aren't even half a minute.

Bielefelders have adorable white butts under that amazing plumage.

Pretty sure this Sussex is a Rooster, as he is always standing tall and keeping watch.

They really do seem to show those traits early.

Just hatched pair of Bielefelders.

I am in love with Bielefelder coloring.

The just hatched pullets look like Eastern chipmunks with raccoon masks, while adults

look like the perfect mix of several different hawks, a bit of Bittern, and wild Turkeys.

Really can't go wrong with that.

Day of Farm Chores

Not talking.

Resting.

Among the Chickens with Hummingbird Cake

Happy Easter!

Good Friday in the Rain

Plus a fabulous long talk with my sister in England. 

Stormy day clearing.

Brief clear moment with rainbow and sun!

Redbuds are coming....

My baby Maple from my Grandparents'.

First Bloodroot bloom in my garden-

native ones I moved from farther into the woods.

Beautiful wild Violets all over, 

bright clumps seen up and down the yard from the window.

Lilac all green!

Moon rise.
