After a week of being sick and housebound and watching the snow blow yet again outside my window I went in search of spring this week. 

Where is the best place to find spring? At a farm! Every year about this time I pop on over to Peterson’s Farm in Woods Hole to see the little lambs. It doesn’t get much cuter than little lambs jumping and running about. No matter how grumpy or out of sorts you may be feeling I think it would be hard to stay that way while watching little lambs frolic. 

I even got to visit with Harley, the llama and his older charges. That Harley is one patient dude, hanging out with the chickens as well as those persnickety old sheep.

Birds were singing all about,  none as brightly or loudly as this happy song sparrow, though.

Robins and grackles were everywhere in the fields, some even finding worms or grubs. It’s late for worms and grubs but there is still snow on the ground in many places. In the warmer spots, however, worms and grubs were nearer to the surface.

A rabbit watched me as I watched it, hidden well within the brambles…

It gave me a nice little flash of white tail as it made its exit.

The shrubs and vines are showing life and were full of birds…

 In another few weeks it will be full on spring at the farm. I can’t wait! Happy Spring, everyone!
