Slow spring

The men in this house are much better at taking naps than me, the only female. Woody fell asleep while sitting on the sofa watching the birds with me. He didn't seem to care that there is a nesting pair of bluebirds in the new bird house. First bluebirds I have ever seen here!

And just today the orioles showed up in the apple trees that are just about to open their blossoms.

Spring has been slow in coming. We had a few warm days in April, but May has been chilly and mostly rainy. We are still getting temps in the 30°s at night, and tonight there are a few of those darn little snowflakes sneaking back into the weather report.

Rain's little boy kid has been very entertaining as the latest spring addition to the farm. He is tiny compared to our usual kids, and he has those funny Nubian ears that add to the cuteness! The Husband is pretty cute too, even though I am technically not allowed to post his picture on here...
