because spring is for savoring

in #homesteading7 years ago

There are things I enjoy about each season, but spring is special. After a long cold winter, spring is when things come back to life. The daylight hours are long and the evenings are cool. I'd like to bottle up a handful of spring evenings to savor when the summer days are hot, fall is rainy or winter is dark. Instead I took some photos this evening of the everyday things I love so much.

The children spend so much time in the sandbox

They love collecting treasures at the coast. I tell them to take their shells to the sandbox. They have quite the collection! Some of the shells come from as far away as the coast of Spain.

Some of the chickens getting ready to go inside and roost.

I don't like when they roost in the nest boxes, but they sure seem to find it ideal.

My hours of work the last few weeks are about to pay off. Lettuce and radishes are nearly ready, and the strawberries are getting pink.

These hot pink geraniums had exotic names, but I'm basic so I just say pink.

Your dianthus is so pretty. Nice to get another look at your gardens.

Those 2 kitties were pretty camouflaged!

I have to laugh at those cats! They aren't exactly friends yet, but there is a lot of interest in what the other is doing. Competition I guess.
