Spring...So far

We got a big jump on spring chores this weekend and it's fair to say I am totally and entirely exhausted. But, it was really nice to get outside and really kick things off.
Miss Rosemary finally got that trim and, lo and behold, she has eyes! Look at that, I really think she's smiling.
More pruning.
Shoveling manure, now I just have to till up the ground and get it in there. Tomorrow...
Reseeding grazing land. We also spent many hours this weekend locating and marking the borders of our property so we know exactly how far we can take our fencing. In the end we decided we can have at least 4 more sheep. Probably could do more but we also want a couple of itty bitty goats.

You know what they say about the grass always being greener.... They're sick of hay and who could blame them. Just a little bit yet and their pasture will be reseeded and we'll have more fencing up for them.
So how about you? How did spend this beautiful equinox?

I spent it marveling over a sweet little flower fairy that arrived in the mail the day before. Thank you so much - we love it! (:

what a wonderful beginning to spring it looks like you are having! I must admit I was kind of fond of Miss Rosemary's crazy bangs:)
Miss Rosemary looks smashing and ready for spring.
Oh! I want to cuddle that sweet little wool ball! Miss Rosemary is beautiful!
so nice. our manure has been resting comfortably in the beds for a week--glad the shoveling is done! And, surprised at how little it smells...
I love your new header. :)
We're planning on two sheep this summer- I'll look forward to reading about your sheep experiences! Rosemary is such a sweet name for a sweet sheep. <3
Why, Rosemary does look like she's smiling!
I am so excited, we are getting 4 babydoll southdowns this spring and two niderian dwarf goats!

Oh, that's so exciting! We just love our babydolls, I can't wait to get a few more. We're also in the market for nigerian dwarfs. I had hoped to find a mama ready to kid this spring but they've gotten away from me by the time I had the money for them, so, I guess I'll just have to be patient. I can't wait to see yours!
