Enjoying Spring.

We've had a true spring here with the weather jumping between wonderful sunshiny warm days to days with snow falling and settling on the mountain while we huddled around the cosy fire which we kept  burning all day. Right now we've enjoyed a string of the lovely mild blue kind. The children and I have loved soaking up the sun's warmth, in fact we even called school off one day just to lap up the wonderful weather and concentrate on lots of spring garden jobs.
Serena showed the boys how to whistle through grass, that made for good entertainment after our picnic lunch.

James tried with all his might again and agin but still no success, maybe next year.
Yesterday poor little James must have been totally worn out, Serena found him sleeping like this and kindly placed a pillow under his head, he slept for a couple of hours in the sun. Probably dreaming of what he's going to make with the wood and saw, maybe another sword? 
This week we are expecting some new additions to our mini farm, some pure breed day old chicks and some fertile duck eggs to put under our two ducks who are both sitting on one nest. We had the same shared mothering last year, the ducklings were very well protected which is just as well as we do have a few hungry crows hanging about.
