Aside from the spring equinox, spring has really sprung in
our neck of the woods. Ask residents of Ferry County what the typical
harbingers of spring are here and you’ll hear answers like: seeing robins, bluebird
sightings (a personal favorite), or spotting the first little sunny buttercups.
In the past week we’ve seen all three, including twitterpated robins. Groups of juncos hop around everywhere giving our house cat some
entertainment. The chickens keep escaping their yard to scratch around in the
soil, much to the chagrin of our young dog who feels they should stay out of
his yard.
And then our Shetland lambs have begun their arrival! The
hens are providing 8-16 eggs per day. The warm sunshine and breeze feel
glorious, and the soft rains are welcome!
