Around The Farm

The grass has been gradually turning green and the winter hay supply is almost gone:

 Blue and Remy are about to begin their annual battle with me over wearing muzzles to keep them from developing founder, a crippling hoof malady. I'm not sure how I'm going to handle it this year:

 But for now they are happy. Blue is especially lovely as the wind lifts his mane:

 And Remy is all cuddles and sweetness as he trots over to greet me in the pasture:

 The both seem to be finding more than enough to eat in the short, dead grass of the south field:

 And neither one is in danger of getting too skinny:

 And speaking of tubby animals, the Red Poll girls have certainly not gone hungry. Here, Amy and Rosella were sharing some hay:

 The herd was waiting and watching as I brought a new bale out to them:

 Violet had all the hay she needed and preferred to just nap on some waste hay:

 A new bale, just delivered:

 My six hardy roses arrived and I lined them up on the kitchen counter to replace spilled soil and give them all something to drink:

 Then I moved them to the back room, where they will share a big, east facing window with the seed trays (which are not yet planted). Spring is arriving rapidly and I am struggling to keep up with it:
