It sets you up for the day, that blast of fresh air and exercise.

However, I smiled when he told me hadn't managed to capture the seal in the river (I had!!). I have yet to see a lamb but will make it as one for my list. I have just taken a look at my greenhouse (or should I say my hubby's winter shed!!) and I think tomorrow will be a sorting out day and then the seeds can reign once more in there rather than drills, hammers, odd bits of wood etc etc. :-) Have a wonderful weekend xxsweetbriardreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03036932595395191529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-76463814894407077172015-03-07T09:50:44.474+00:002015-03-07T09:50:44.474+00:00I hope the germs have gone.

Nice to see some seedlings, I haven't sown anything yet, still working out how to puppy proof the garden - getting my allotment plot back is probably the only way.

(And sometimes "mmm - chops!") They are so darn cute.<br /><br />Primroses and hyacinth and snowdrops, oh my! How lovely they look. And how comforting to see the pot of squash and onions - the soup looks delicious. I can't wait until our chives sprout - have used up all the ones I froze. Have you read "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver? If not I think you would enjoy it. Your list of remaining homegrown veggies reminded me of her experience.<br /><br />This is a draggy time of year for us too - lots of fatigue, sore muscles, and a desire to sleep. It usually gets better when the weather warms up. :)<br /><br />Baby plants are so exciting.

I'm so glad you took a photo of them and had the energy to post it to share with us :-) My youngest daughter and granddaughters just planted seeds indoors yesterday...some heirloom seeds a friend gave my daughter. It will be fun to see what grows. For my birthday last month my oldest daughter painted a picture with lambs and a cherry tree in it. I posted a picture of it recently that doesn't show the lambs frolicking very well, but some of them are, and I imagine your lambs did as well. One of the most delightful dances of Spring...although the numbers on the sides of your lambs rather worry me... Wishing you and yours good health and happy days :-) Gracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-70218995781955522562015-03-05T22:39:45.396+00:002015-03-05T22:39:45.396+00:00Gorgeous photos CJ....I love those lambs.
