As the warm weather moved in, Dad said, “Hey, lets get that swing back up,  its time to sit out in the sunshine!”

We love to capture the fragrance of hyacinths by putting them in vases, where their aroma will fill the room.

Yikes!!  Its hard not to get pictures like this with donkeys, they are so good natured and profoundly curious!

There, that’s a better pose.  The shaggy winter coat will soon be shed.  They have been racing about and kicking up their heels with pure joy and enthusiasm to be outdoors again.  You just gotta laugh at their antics!

Two little munchkins ready to be farmers.  What big boots you have, Boaz.  Maybe Ethan can fit in them too!

A cozy scene in the afternoon sun.  Ben is reading about Barry, the Bravest Saint Bernard.  Ethan is sure that the boy hero of the story is “Uncle Mike”, which in his words sounds more like “Kah Mike” and points him out on every page.

Abby made Wyoming Whoppers, these did not last long at all.  Shameful!
