Our first Vermont Spring


EAting lunch outside after school...the boys loved this and thought it was the best idea.

I am beside myself this year to have my very first garden...raised beds...berries...asparagus...and I started tomatoes..peppers...pumpkins...watermelons and sunflowers...the rest we will buy from the garden store. The boys are so into this...especially Whitty...he is our little nature lover.

This year we dyed eggs from spices and veggies that we had...they were sorta boring...but we hope to improve our skills...it's like an experiment so of course Whit is into it...we didn't do much for Easter...no big hunt...no big bunny....but we had a great day outdoors together.

Finding treasures like this.

And working on my raised beds....

Bock....bock...quack!





The Griffin family expanded AGAIN!
 Meet Salt and Pepper (the girl) and Snow-swimmer (the boy) who we hope will begin mating soon! We will have lots of little Muscovy ducks running around!

Look at the loot...wow! That big one ended up being a DOUBLE yolker!!!! Twins!

My little helpers. They are loving the chickens and ducks! It has become part of our daily routine.

Madden....likes the little hens...he loves to pull their tails and empty their food bowl into the coop...makes Momma mad!
