Yes indeed...my hogs were still in the woods yesterday morning...and this morning. It was such a relief to see them. They did seem content digging and soaking in the warm sun. We sure did welcome this day. I believe it was almost 6o degrees...bright and sunny! Everyone was active. The kids were out early with their bikes and boots, chickens were scratching in new places and those little "red dalmatians" were discovering fantastic places to explore. They made friends with Clementine and enjoyed following her around the farm. I can't believe I was able to put clothes out on the line. I know people use a clothes line in the winter, but I hate the feeling of icy clothes. Hanging clothes is actually one of the few domestic chores I love to do. I find it relaxing. I remember a couple of years ago, as I was hanging laundry, I glanced up to see a herd of deer running right in front of me. I never get used to deer. It's an amazing sight each time. Then about five minutes later, an old beagle ran by. He must have been having fun chasing.
Kids had mandatory showers this evening. After being cooped up a good part of this winter, they thoroughly enjoyed a stocking up of Vitamin D. Of course it will be muddy for a while. The ground is so saturated that even the slightest bit of rain will make a mess. That doesn't stop them. Farm kids are always dirty!
Looks like we should really take advantage of the good weather tomorrow. I hear it's going to rain again by the end of this week.
