The daffodil are blooming in full force in the front yard right now, it is still amazing that I covered my whole front garden with them by breaking up two clumps when we bought the house. There are more clumps that I need to break up this fall.
The apple trees are both getting leaves which is good news. I was worried they may have been harmed in the hard winter. The raspberrys are spreading and after this year I will begin the process of keeping them thinned.
Two things stand out the most about this spring though. We got bees again, and a dozen new chicks. The chicks are two months old already, it's hard to believe. To my best guess it is 7 boys and 5 girls. We will be taking the boys to get done up for dinner in another month or two. I'm down to just two of my original 6 hens. Pat and Betty keep on trucking and they are being real troopers about the new chicks. Pat has started laying again, and fingers crossed it keeps up!
The bees I picked up today from Spille in Ky, but they are going to have to wait to go into their new home till Monday evening when Dan gets home from work. Hopefully we have more luck all around!
