Come Walk With Me

In the old horse pasture. The horses are all gone now, except Jack the mini. He doesn't need much more than a little patch of yard. We need to get this big field back under fence though, don't we? Kind of a waste having nothing grazing here, although from the size of these deer tracks, somebody is getting some good out of it. I can't believe that the brome grass is already knee high. I love to see it blowing in the breeze like a flag for spring time. I would love even more seeing cows chomping it down while they fill their udders with lots of good, rich milk.




I always have a hard time deciding whether the gold finches look like flying dandelions or the other way around. They sure are yellow anyhow.

And listen to those catbirds! One over there in the mulberry tree, two in that big apple and at least a couple down below the road. Last week I was wondering why we hadn't seen any yet and now they are all over the place. One almost hit me in the head over by the barn the other day. He had better watch where he is going!



Check this out....wild grape flowers. Any time now they will open and the whole valley will smell like Heaven. They are small to look at, but their scent is my very favorite. Wish I could bottle it.



And these little guys! I haven't heard a frog yet this spring....or at least not here at the farm. I thought maybe they had all died out, but somebody has certainly been up to SOMETHING here in the little pond the boss dug for me way back when.
