Nine Days…and counting ~

It's coming….
in NINE days it will be here :)

SPRING 
will be here just as planned!

the barnyard was just waking up this morning as I took these snaps ~
(( it is 8:00 am and already 51 degrees here in our little part of Virginia ))


barn & coops

Buddy watches the house for Peter ~ "come feed me Dad!"


Daisy, Nocchi and two of the guinea hens patiently waiting too….


I caught Lazy waking up in his bed on the barn porch ~

... I took the camera to the herb garden to see what was waking up there ~


Harry Lauder Walking Stick is looking nice & strong ~

showing signs of waking up by sprouting catkins ~




pussy willow is showing her beautiful red growth…can't wait for the little fuzzy-heads to come!

Iris yawning and stretching ~


waking up from a long nap

can't wait for the narcissus and daffodils ~

 Old Friends back for a visit once again.


popping up through the leaves and garden 'decor' ~

 Here are a few snaps of the little 'family'…


Momma Minew leaving her babes for a sip of water and a snack ~

"Uncle Iggy"
waiting on the toilet tank for me to fill the sink for his drink….

I will be finishing up that 
Blessed Bee punch today, then start on the Honey Girl punch ~

I just love the garden pics, Lori! I have a Harry Lauder as well, and the bunnies love to nibble on the low-hanging tassels. Still waiting for the last vestiges of snow to disappear.

Love, love, love, love, love!!! Springtime and little kitties. What could be better. My Coal waits like Iggy for a drink from the sink. For some reason all my cats are fascinated by the bathroom!

Nice to see spring has started! Love all the animals you have, they all look so relaxed!

How beautiful new Spring growth is!
Gives us renewed strength and focus. Wish it was that way here. Windy and cold today and Spring will not arrive on its scheduled date, at least not the LOOK AND FEEL of Spring.
Wonderful photos.

My daffs have been sticking there heads for for about two weeks now....my favorite time of year new growth and no mowing the lawn yet. I love a group kitten photo...who's head goes with what tail??? So sweet.

With "wintry mixes" and high winds in the forecast, we have to keep thinking positively! The goldfinches are getting yellower and the robins are around, but the juncos are still here! Love all your Spring-y pictures.
Hugs...
