Scenes From The House And Farm

We arrived back at the farm early on Sunday afternoon and all looked well:

I've collected the weekend's farm photos into one post, so they represent more than one day. The dogs are always happy to be out in their backyard run:

Wally, who had such a grand time on Sunday morning, appeared to have had a stroke (or something) on Monday morning. But he rallied and appeared to be making a comeback. Nevertheless, knowing his old age and declining vigor, I wanted a couple of photos of him to celebrate what would turn out to be his last trip up to the farm. I called him outside and snapped this photo while Madeline stood in the background:

I took a walking tour of the yard. The apple trees didn't appear to be very active yet:

Until, that is, I looked more closely:

The pear tree was coming to life as well:

The daffodils were in bloom, the birds were singing and the world looked like a glorious place:

I used my new water hydrant to water the newly planted fruit tree saplings:

And then fired up the new riding mower and got to work on the lawn before it turned into a hay field:

The dogs were happy in their yard as long as they could see me:

And they were happy in bed - except, of course, for Winky and Seamus who slept on the floor:

The weather was nothing short of glorious and I decided to do something fun to celebrate springtime. But I'll post more about that tomorrow:
