Mud

We are in full mud season here in Minnesota. Springtime here is a mess of melting snow. The chickens and horses take full advantage of it, stomping in the puddles, and for the horses it's the perfect time to try on a new coat color.


Candy has been wondering how she'll look as a grey. I don't think it's a great look for her but she just keeps putting on a new coat of mud everyday!


All the horses are a little scruffy looking this time of year as their winter coats fall out. Soon they'll be looking sleek in their summer coats and I'll get some good pictures of them.



The chickens on the other hand are just happy to be outside. The roosters have settled down a lot, although Pumpkin is still in his own spot away from the other boys.

Apollo has made a full recovery and is enjoying taking a stroll with little Paris. ^

So cute.





In other news I've started seeds for this summer. Peppers, onions, leeks, shallots, brussels sprouts, tomatoes, and eggplant are done. I'm working on broccoli, and cabbage.



Spring is in full swing now!
