Springtime at the Farm

On Mother's Day weekend we traveled to the farm for another much anticipated visit.


What is more fun than a huge pile of sawdust with old diggers and trucks?

Even Tia who doesn't understand why Silas and Asher like trucks so much, occupied herself for a while.



This was the highlight for Tia...six little puppies for her to love and bottle feed.








  



Beautiful weeds and Grandpa's bees.



The morning mist of a beautiful day!


The barn swallows mud home.

Working with Grandma to make bread.


Her babies.


 Some of us went on a wonderful hike with gorgeous landscape pictures.





  And here is my boy, working and learning from his Uncles...this is all I saw of him. Silas was out to the barn milking before I woke up and didn't get back till 7pm dinner!

Cutting hay was the priority that week.

Kittens, warm eggs, and rope swings

Boy do I have a lot of catching up to do on this blog! More than a month ago we visited my sisters farm. The kittens were the highlight for Tia...Silas loved everything about the place...Asher, water and the dog was all he cared about.   


Proud cousin Eric showing off the new kittens!


Zachary couldn't wait for his picture to be taken too. 



Rope swinging...learning how to hang on real tight!






 An American Blue Bird sitting in her house fretting about her life as I stick my lens right up to the entrance.

This boy would do well to have a dog. 






My hard worker cleaning out the chicken coop...maybe someday he will raise his own chickens in our backyard. 

Tia couldn't get enough of these sweet little kitties! 



 Boys and water are like magnets.
