Look closely, and you’ll see a baby calf nursing while Mama cow allows me an up close shot of her and her new calf. So sweet.
Stocking The Pond

Early spring is a good time to add fish to your pond. If you’ve not stocked a pond before, it’s a lot of fun. First we bought our fish from the “fish truck” which is sort of like an ice cream truck for grown men, at our local Co-op.
Next we take the bags to the pond and gently release them into the water. We added 50 bass, 50 catfish, 1000 minnows, and 6 grass carp.

The Easter Bunny brought us kites a few weeks ago. Springtime brings lots of windy days and everyone enjoyed the adventure of some high flying fun!

We took a chance and planted our garden a little early. Tonight there’s a frost warning and we hope we won’t lose our seeds and sprouts!
Mother Goose

Our resident Canadian goose has a secret. She has six eggs in a nest next to three trees by the pond. We call her Goosey and the male Gander. They visit us each spring for about eight weeks. She let me get within just a few feet of her baby eggs.
First Party Of The Season

It was a perfect Saturday for the first big party of the year, a triple birthday party for our son Charles (turning 7) and two of our nieces. Lots of food, fun, friends & family came together to make the day extra special.
Wow, What A Day

Today was a real taste of an early Tennessee spring day. We started out with a great lunch at The Feed Mill in Nolensville.
Then we spent the day outside enjoying the sun.
Claude caught the first fish of the season.
And what better way to finish the day than pork chops at Grandmama’s house?

With spring just a few weeks away, we were anxious to get the garden tilled and ready for this year’s seeds. If tractors could talk, I know ours would tell you how good it felt to get out of the barn and do some work.
It was also a chance for Faith to learn about PTOs, clutches, and tillers. She was a natural.
You probably didn’t know tractor tires have water in them to add weight…check this out:
“Almost” Spring

Our family enjoyed a nice day outside on the farm. It was warmer but still cool and breezy most of the day. But with baby #7 due anytime, it was a good chance to relax and play together before the new baby gets here.
