Spring Mornings

Nothing like a good apple to start your day.

Followed by a little reading.

A Norther Shrike showed up to watch the activity at our bird feeders.  Shrikes are somewhat unique - they are predatory songbirds that feed on small animals and birds.

Newly born lambs.  Momma has cleaned them both.

I finally wised up and came up with an easier way to haul sap.

My sled is basically a scaled down version of the old horse-drawn sleds carrying big sap barrels that I have seen in pictures.  It has a wide stance for stability and holds two five gallon buckets in the center.  It works like a charm on uneven snow and hillsides.

The train is about to leave the station.

It may be snowing, but when you see a bluebird you know that spring is here,

Time for picnics in the sun.

The proper way to eat a bagel is to eat the cream cheese first.  It's like eating an oreo cookie - you turn it on edge and eat the layers one at a time.  

The rock pile has emerged from under the snow.

More lambs.
