Now THIS is spring!

Todays Photo of the Day features our girl Stars. I was heading out the front door the otherday and noticed her perched up on one of the beams that crosses our GreatRoom peering down on me. Think she had a "Im mighter then thou" thought running thru her head?

Today DH & I spent the wee hours this morning cleaning up the horse 'apples' and trimming branches in the girls pasture prior to letting them out. Miss Lena of course went straight to the hay! That gal does love her food!

We are digging the top soil mound that was deposited last year at the base of the pond we had put in down below. Over the early spring, DH had smoothed out the clay base that remained around it and we have layered old manure and hay on top of it. Today we are now starting to get that mound broken down and spread on top of the manure/straw mixture so we can hopefully soon grass it. Why are we not using a loader? Well the land is extremely hilly and no loader will get down there..:(

In the mean time I did get to work a bit on this new OSWOA (4x6) painting of a fairy. Still has a ways to go but she is started.....

Hope to get some time later today to work on her some more.

Happy Spring Saturday everyone and dont forget your sunscreen!
