Tip Toe Through The Tulips

Well maybe not 'tip toe' through

them 

but we can at least

enjoy them 

;)

Thursday was our big grocery day

and I couldn't resist bringing

 home a pretty bouquet

of lovely spring tulips.

I was able to choose from pink tulips

and red and yellow and mauve etc

but these ones caught my eye.

I would LOVE to plant some

tulips here on the farm

but I'm afraid we have way

too many squirrels 

running around

and they

LOVE 

tulip bulbs.

So this past fall I planted daffodils instead.

Hopefully they will start to show

signs of life soon.

Until then...

I may just have to treat myself

again ;)

Poor hubby's back went out last

Tuesday and he has been up and down

since then.

I'm sure we'll be making a trip into 

the city to see his doctor tomorrow

but he says he's going to work tonight.

We'll see what happens when he get's up.

His big brother came over today  

and used the tractor to continue

cleaning out our hedgerow. 

I'm sure it's been many MANY

years since anyone has been able

to walk under those trees!

Mostly he is just cutting off dead limbs

and taking down dead trees that were 

burned when the barn caught fire. 

We had hoped that some of them would

recover and they did...at least partially. 

It's always sad when you have to take

a tree down but sometimes you

have no choice. 

Anyway...it's been a good weekend

and a sunny one.

I hope yours has been a good one too.

"Sunshine... On My Down... Makes Me Happeee!"

Meet Percy and Priscilla.

Some of you will remember them

from earlier posts.

They were just tiny when we brought

 the two of them home April 4 2010.

They were so sweet...and soft.

Sweet Fluff Balls

They were such sweet little goslings

and would follow me around like I was

Mother Goose!

They grew up so fast. Too fast.

This day we had just had a big rainstorm

and the 'pond' hubby had dug 

just for them was full and overflowing.

The sun was shining

and it was nice and warm so 

I let them out to play.

They followed me to the water.

If a goose could smile...

then I would say this was a

smile.

They were giddy and goofy

and they had a blast.

They took a little break and ate a snack...

tasty grass!

Then went back in the water

and blew a few bubbles.

And preened themselves.

Then it was time to 

head back to the pen.

It was a good day.

I hope you enjoyed a little walk

down memory lane with me.
