Spring on the farm

Yesterday we made a trip out to the Kastendieck's farm.  It was a day of firsts for Clara.  First time seeing pigs and newborn piglets, first time feeling fuzzy baby turkeys and chickens, first time seeing a llama, first time napping in a water bed  etc. 

 Clara was not very impressed with the baby birds.  She only looked at them when they cheeped.  :)

We had a wonderful time.  I was reminded of how spring was for me on my parents acreage.  We always had chicks in the spring, the garden was plowed up and smelled so...good.  Earthy.  The trees were full of life, our rubber boots were tested, and our feet got wet.  The creek started running again, and the robins came back.  I really miss that. 

I can't wait to be able to be outside all the time with Clara.  She is sure enjoying the warmer weather.
