A taste of spring

The hay field at the VT farm is greening up, Brownie had her kids which I mentioned before, and at least one gosling has hatched as of this morning! The weather is perfect for outside projects -- 50s-60s during the day with a breeze. Not too hot, hot too cold.


Brownie and her kids at a few hours old:




We had to clear fifty trees from the access road and driveway after the recent wind storm. Here's a view of the road near where our drive joins it:




This week's house progress was special -- some window holes were cut and some windows installed!






Although I have not yet had the privilege of seeing any of the local moose population in person, someone left their calling card close to the back porch. You may want to click on the picture for the larger version.

Cool about the moose calling card! They are soooo silent. The gentleman who delivers whey to us says he saw Melvin, the big bull moose who lives near us, down at the marsh this morning on his way up the mountain. I'm jealous as I haven't seen Melvin in several years - just tracks and scat. For such big animals they are very stealthy.
