Coming soon.....spring

We are hopefully going to start planting tomorrow. And if possible, I want to take pictures and post some here. It has been fairly wet here this spring. After a winter with lots of snow and very little frost in the ground, we thought that we were in for an early spring. But that was not to be.
Trees are getting their leaves now and the service berry tree by our house is almost blooming.


Not sure if that is late or not. But I'm sure that in most parts of the country, they are already done blooming.
Last week we had a lot of rain and specially the fields that were plowed in the spring are going to need some extra time to dry out. And the grass is so green, we can hardly keep up mowing it between showers.


You can see there are not too many leaves on the sugar maple in front of the house.
Last picture is for all you older kids that think that Caleb and Damaris don't do chores.


Here is the proof that they can work really well together in the kitchen and work well together.
Hope you have a great long weekend.
