Well, things have been pretty good around here. Had a couple birthday to celebrate, took a mini-vacation with Dave, everyone was sick in there somewhere, the usual. In the past week, everything in the outside world seems to have exploded in color here on Silly Goose Farm, and I thought I'd share some photos with you.
The orchard:
Apple trees
Wowie, the grass is getting high! Guess it's time to let the cows out.
I love how old and tangled some trees are
A rose bush grows under one apple tree. I should probably move it
Blurry close-up of apple blossom buds
Pure white pear blossoms
I imagine these pear trees are close to (if not more than) 100 years old
Eastern Red Bud blossoms
In a few days, this whole tree will be the prettiest shade of mauve
Soon, we will be chopping down the arborvitae that surround the
Eastern Red Bud - they are too big to transplant and engulf the Red Bud
Pretty little violets leading into the sunporch
Rhubarb! We have several patches
Purple lilacs near the kitchen window. White lilacs line the driveway.
The smell is heavenly!
The barn will be getting a facelift this summer (and all that wood
will be stacked inside for next winter)
Barn cats and farm babies
We've got lots of other blooms starting to sprout on the farm, I'll share more pictures soon! I hope your spring is a lovely one!

So glad you're alive and all well again! I was thinking about you last night. :)
Spring's sprung and it's so beautiful! Thanks for sharing the pictures.
PS - Since you've been gone, I started my own blog (ok my first post was yesterday). If you ever have nothing better to do, come check it out at http://mypixiedustdiary.blogspot.com/.
Awwww... I need to come... ASAP!
