Budding Out

Lots has happened in the past couple weeks; it is all we can do to catch up with these photos:

The larch tree with its coniferous buds...
The redstem dogwood...
The sugar maples-- which, along with the larch were among Royce O'Donal's donation last year. Gifted plants remind us every season of generosity.

Newly transplanted lilacs...



The strawberries, newly un-mulched by our newly arrived interns for the season...

Samantha, here setting up the sheep on new pasture.

And Courtney, here learning the ropes of milking the cow every morning.

Oh and these new arrivals-- four piglets also learning the ropes (electric that is.)

There are so many new things this time of the year, as our busy season crashes into us!
SAVE THE DATE for a May Day celebration: Saturday the first of May! Details to follow...
Blessings on the meal,
John
