Springing forward!

We experienced some way too early spring weather, which was wonderful at the moment, but as we watched all the spring trees and bushes bloom far too soon, thoughts of climate change really hit home.  Once the temps returned to normal, most of the trees that bloom in April in May started turning brown, and we worry how summer fruit crops will fair this year.   After such a crummy winter, it's so depressing to see so much brown in spring...except for the adorable fuzzy brownness of newborn babies on the farm!

These pics are from a day we spent at a local farm: climbing trees, meeting newborn lambs and goats, and Four getting drenched under the chicken coop as the little snow there was melted on her head.
