Prom

Mikayla went to prom with her friend Clint. After a 10am hair appointment, followed by make up session, we went home and painted finger and toe nails. (Zane didn't get why we were painting her toe nails when her dress was long. Boys!) Clint was great about putting up with all my photos before they left to have dinner with friends.

Thank you Taylor, Miks make-up artist! (and Kitty, the assistant)

Grand March decorations-prom theme was New York New York-beautiful!

After dinner and before the dance, they have a Grand March, which gives everyone a chance to see the couples all decked out. It is really fun! Then, after the dance, the school provides "After Prom" where they have games like Sumo Wrestling, obstacle course, and a prize grab, food and a hypnotist!

Pictures are worth a thousand words.

Spring Green

The light was so pretty this morning, I had to snap a few of my favorite angles. We had a great thunderstorm on Monday and I learned that lightening adds nitrogen to the soil, making grass greener! The trees have a ways to go yet :)

You can see the remains of the pond...

Spring visitor

We had a visitor today. He was the strong silent type. At least until he found more cover, then he proceeded to sing a loud love song lookin' for a lady friend. The picture doesn't do him justice if you happen to know any pheasant hens....

It definitely felt like we turned the official corner towards spring this weekend! Breezy but warm! Zane has been wearing shorts for a while now but I actually put some on to work outside today too! The fairy house is repaired after seeing some winter damage, bird houses are cleaned and hung or straightened in hopes for new tenants. We washed the car in the driveway, burned brush and trimmed sheep hooves. (No lambs this spring, we will try for next spring!) Ate lunch outside, started a new compost pile and pulled some sunchokes up from the north side of the machine shed. (I will have to cook them up for dinner tomorrow night.)

Yesterday we went to see Easter, my friends new Belted Galloway calf, born on....Easter! And there are many calves between our house and theirs. Although I must say, none as cute as Miss Easter. Matt is busy spreading poo. And I think all the snow is even gone from the road ditch!

Yep, it's spring!

Hope spring has sprung in your neck of the woods!

That's all for now.
