Last year was my first spring on the farm. It happened so fast. Brown and cold of winter turned into warm and green almost overnight. And then WHAM! Everything went out of control so quickly we never caught up. Ever.
I love winter, I do. The cold, the snow, the ice, the fires, the soup, the sweaters.
Isn’t it wonderful spring always follows winter? Our Ozark winter was too long, but now its time to plant here and get going!
This year Im taking my front porch that has two rocking chairs where we sit at the end of each day, and filling two baker’s racks with thrift store pots to grow things in! One will be a little herb garden to grow all summer, the other will have succulents growing.
Its such a fun project to make the front porch more inviting and cozier.
Happy Spring, Happy Days, Happy Everything!! Hugs, Diana, Noel, Mo.
What a great idea! Think I’ll copy cat! My porch needs something!
Love your posts, Rebekah!
Cool photos of eggs! Love the “noise” of frogs so much I bought a CD so I can listen to them in the winter also. I’m headed to my pond to see if I can see the same things you’ve found. Happy spring Rebekah.
Making the transition from Midwest farm girl to doctoral student (and 20 years later) back to farm girl in Maryland has been a life long learning curve. Thank God for the gift of humor.
It’s amazing, when I look at farm photos how I see the beauty and not the work…yet another gift. Enjoy all the mosquito feasts those frog and toads will be helping with soon.

Love reading your posts!
Ah yes, Spring!!! the renewal of life, inside and out. I agree the Blue Ridge mountains skies are beautiful but I do say the blue skies of the Rocky Mountains give a very similar happiness. Thanks for sharing all the awakenings on your farm. God Bless.
Howdy Rebekah! We love the sounds of spring peepers her in New England. My in laws have a pond out back of their old farmhouse and those little peepers always let us konw when spring was finally here! Sure looks great at your place! Happy Spring sister!
hugs, Deb
Springtime is beautiful. In my part of the world we are in Autumn. I love this time of year too; the pretty colours of the leaves, the cooler temps so I can go out and really enjoy exercising, and the change in food – yummy casseroles etc, all the things you’re coming out of :). It’s encouraging to me to read your blog not just the huge change in lifestyle but also in the way you approach challenges and choose to look at the sunny side of life.
