Spring has sprung on our property

Today it didn't snow or rain. That, in itself, made it a great day. Off to the property we went to see how dry the ground is now that we have had some warmer days.

The lilacs are budding at the gate.

See.

And the snow has disappeared. Things are looking much greener now.

Oh my goodness, this 'ol tractor kills me but it started up on the first try.

Kane likes to head over to the old coop hoping he'll find a chicken.

He won't,  but if I was a chicken at the coop, I don't think I'd have much to worry about.

This is where my grandmother housed her chickens many years ago. The sound inside this building and collecting the eggs from the squawking hens is still vivid in my mind. To a city kid, this was great fun.

We don't go inside though because of this...

The roof is caving in and needs repair. I'll never tear the building down as there are too many wonderful memories attached to it. I'm hoping to turn it into a potting shed someday. If chickens were to live on this land again they would have the finest coop just over to the left of this one. Someday...maybe, BIG maybe.
Perhaps I should stick to cats.

And to end my day I spent some time again with one of my favorite kitty clients who enjoys a good brushing after every meal. Proof is in the photo.

 Note to all cat-sitters: Remember to always add a hair removal brush to your cat-bag before leaving home.
