miscellaneous

easter sunday started out cold and dreary.  the afternoon was warmer and more pleasant.  that allowed sarah and i to sit on the porch for homemade cookies, tea and conversation.  sarah was so pleased to be able to enjoy the porch during her brief easter visit that she snapped a photograph.  her picture was featured for yesterday's photo friday.

it was warm enough to sit on the porch easter sunday but several days the rest of the week i awoke to frost!

the canada goose pair are visiting just about everyday.  it's most likely that they are nesting, those two!  along the the three pregnant outside kitties and a few of the mama ducks, there'll be babies on the farm soon.

at night the frogs are croaking with great enthusiasm.

the grass between the house and barn is populated with crawdad mud towers.  a hilarious looking housing subdivision for the green creatures.

the ducks and geese are not yet attuned to the sound of the new wind chime. recently they were on the land eating their corn when the wind tugged the clapper and music ensued.  startled, the feathers scattered; flying low over the land until they were safely on water.

the turkeys can be heard gobbling in the woods at first light.
