Another Monday, more wind, more spitting of various types of moisture, no real water to the earth just moisture in the air. We got White Face's hooves trimmed so she could bear to stand up a bit better on her arthritic pregnant legs. Her babies have dropped now so her backbone looks like she is starving but it's just all that weight dragging her down. She either has 2 very huge babies or more than that. We feel so sorry for her, probably the end of her having babies. She's had babies for 7 years now. Pat got the other 2 stalls cleaned out and we gave White Face the biggest stall so she can walk a bit more. So we have 3 empty stalls for BABIES and MOMs and probably will let Sleeping Beauty and Prince Charming out of confinement tomorrow. He is listening to his mom and comes running when she calls now.
We are getting close to 1st batch of incubating eggs being ready to hatch.
the asparagus is starting to come up and the honeysuckle leaves are unfurling. The Nanking cherries have pink buds which we are praying won't get a hard freeze and hurt our crop.
Ahh, Spring, the undecided time of year, still fond of winter against our wishes.
