This week on the farm

  We went from record high temperatures on Monday to frost on Friday - with a rain storm in between. 
  Max came up on Tuesday and he and Howard moved the hay barn. The move was necessitated by the fact the we had originally used pine tree logs to support the roof and they were starting to rot.
  We also added some new baby chicks to the brood...little light gray ones called Lavendar Orpingers - thanks dear for humoring your wife.  And of course I added some photos of the flowers as they bloom - a special treat was catching some Monarch butterflys drinking out of a puddle when I went to feed to cows.
  And last BUT definitely not least - check out the size difference on Howard's tool belt from when he used it last summer - my special husband has lost almost 90 lbs in the last year!
 
  Enjoy the photos from the week - my favorite I think is Emily feeding Sven some grass when she came out to the farm for a visit.
