Sara hosts the P365 Project over at

 Make Music in your Heat to the Lord.

I have participated off and on for 3 years and I'm trying to be more diligent this year. So far I haven't missed taking a daily picture, but I have been remiss in posting my pictures each week.  Here I am with another post to catch up!

The chicks move out of the office into the barn.

They will turn around and back up to the fence to get their showers.

Time to fire up the grill for our first spring burgers.

Wednesday, March 28 -

We tied up the dog on the front porch and she got bored and made puzzle-pieces of my doormat.

I asked the girls to take a trash bag out after dinner and pick up the pieces, but they had already begun putting them back together in front of the door.  That cracked me up!

I love dandelions and Picnik effects (how I will miss you picnik!)

The chickens are growing!

The horses have to be brought into the corral at night to curb their eating of the rich grass.

This is their usual sleeping spot where you can find them in the morning.

We celebrated Easter a day early so we could serve freely at church the next day.

The pic at the top left makes me laugh. They are looking diligently in the pantry for an egg and it's sitting right on the door handle just past them. Love it!

I made a sunflower/peep cake for Easter. So easy and cute!

A clear spring day with soft clouds.

That should catch you up! Hope you're enjoying your spring!
