We've been seeing signs of spring around here for the past couple of weeks now and it's been pretty glorious. The weather hasn't exactly been consistently pleasant, we've definitely been getting our March winds and some rain to boot, but we've been getting ourselves outside at every opportunity. Silas loves to be out, digging and dumping sand, gathering rocks, letting the chickens out, turning the water on and off, watering the garden, soaking himself, and generally having a good time.
Our earliest plants have started blooming and all of the fruit trees have buds. Tres started the first trays of seeds for the garden two weeks ago and he and Silas planted the first seeds in the ground yesterday.

The chickens are back up to nearly maximum output, laying 4-6 eggs per day. The jackrabbits are out and quickly multiplying. I've started hanging the wash outside again. One of our beehives is busily buzzing (the other didn't make it through the winter, more on that in a separate post). Our sweet spring baby is growing steadily and (despite photographic evidence to the contrary) spending more time awake and alert. Don't you love the promise that spring brings?
