Spring lamb

I drove past the farm today, at the bottom of the hill that still has mounds of snow from over a week ago. And what a charmingly refreshing sight delighted me; five little sheep in the front garden of the farm were keeping the grass short with their munchng. Spring is most definitely on it's way and I can almost imagine the swallows returning - the best part of the year for me.
Today was forecast as minus fifteen degrees with the return of Arctic snow across the country but we seem to have escaped it with just a few short blasts of bitter wind and momentary sleet that soon cleared. At present it's impossible to say from one day to the next what the weather will be like but as long as we are wrapped up warmly and keep getting our tiny eggs from the nesting box we are happy peeps!
