March is always an exciting time on our farm. Spring has officially arrived and new life springs up in many different forms. Daffodils (daffy ducks) are blooming and little hands bring in homemade bouquets for mamma. The vibrant yellow colors fill our kitchen with smells of fresh new life and sunshine.Our basement is filled with chirping of assorted poultry bought at the farm store. Buff Orpingtons are our favorites; a large fluffy golden blonde hen, laying large brown eggs. As the end of March/first of April brought 70 degree days, I finally got to test out my new saddle on a day ride to Soldier Creek with my little sister Rachel and sweet friend Audree Harper. My lovely, 16 hand, quarter horse Big'en decided to take a bath with me still on....lets just say we both came out wet. We picniced at one of my very favorite spots- primitive Soldier Creek Church. A mason jar of lemonade and weeding the strawberry patch completed the day.  |
