Up to Our Ears In Spring




Gi and I have been busy with lots of spring exploring on the farm - we've collected a couple of praying mantis egg cases to watch till they hatch, and have been taking pictures of a robin's nest in the backyard to watch the progress of the eggs and chicks. I found a mockingbird nest today when I was cutting browse for the goats (they can't be trusted loose on their own right now since they would much rather eat the tender young leaves of the stuff we WANT then the briars and poison ivy) and will take our first picture of that tomorrow if the sun comes out. We looked up how long robin eggs take to hatch and marked out two weeks on the calendar, but we lucked out and just three days in, two of the eggs have already hatched :)
