The 12 Days of Spring on the Farm

Oh green
... beautiful, glorious, marvelous green ...
how I miss you,
please come back soon!

Anyone else yearning for sunshine and green pastures???

Spring's a coming ...
The signs are all around us ...
Yesterday morning I geared up and stepped out of the house to start morning chores and I smelled it.  
What does spring smell like you ask?  
Well I'm not really sure how to explain it.  It was just a hint of an earthy smell dancing in the air, almost imperceptible but most definitely there.
Like the scent of earth awakening.
I can feel it and apparently so can everything around me.
As I go about my work around the farm it's as if everything is coming alive.  
Throwing off the quiescence of winter and embracing the warmth and liveliness of spring.
It makes a body feel like singing and for some reason I've got the 12 Days of Christmas stuck in my head 🙄
so today you get my list of the 12 Days of Spring instead! 😆

12 hay bales remainin'
11 crows a cawin' (🤬!)
10 sows a cuppin'
9 puppies poppin'
8 kittens purrin'
7 ant piles wakin'
6 geese a layin'
5 ponds a fillin'
4 ewes need shearin'
3 bulls a bellerin'
2 boars a waitin'
and a spruce grouse in a pine tree!

"O, Sunshine!  The most precious gold to be found on earth."
