The baby chicks are growing so quickly with first feathers appearing. We've moved them out of the laundry room nursery into a larger nursery in the barn.
 |
The picture is red due to the red shaded heat lamp that is keeping the chicks warm in the barn. |
 |
This is the new nursery in the barn. You can see the red light and we have the nursery covered with chicken wire and a rug to keep them safe and free from drafts. |
 |
| Apricot blossoms are sooo fragrant & full of bees |
 |
| The tulips are close to opening |
 |
| This is rhubarb pushing up through the mulch - think pie!! |
 |
| French radishes are up |
 |
These are peony shoots coming up in my peony bed - oh my, I can hardly wait for these luscious floozy flowers, they are my most favorite. I plan to have bouquets all around the cottage. |
The garter snakes came out of their den under the Norway spruce tree this week when the temperature hit 80 degrees!
 |
Check out the garter snakes - I didn't notice the one in the tree until I printed the picture - Yikes!!!!! If you enlarge the picture you'll see these lovely creatures more clearly. |
Baby calves are romping in the pastures but it's too early for our baby horses to be born.
Wish you were here.

OMG! You lost me at the snakes!!! True chills.
While walking home tonight at dusk, Cesar and I saw HUGE raccoons out chasing each other about. Toronto's mascot should be the raccoon. They are all over the city and as big as basset hounds! I have this fear that I'm going to wake up and find one sitting on my chest in the middle of the night staring at me! If I saw a snake in the yard like the ones you photographed, I'd probably faint.
