All farmers are back on the farm with a certain amount of catching up done on chores today. In the process of disposing of some rather old apples by making the sheep very happy, we were able to get one particularly good close-up of one of the new lambs, as can be witnessed here.

The barn cats had some freedom and were made happy thereby as well. While it's continuing to be an unusually cool and wet spring, it's warm enough that the barn kitties are feeling feisty. Soon we will be spending much time out of doors with various chores, such as building paddocks and fencing the garden area.

Speaking of the garden area, the seedlings are doing well. The older ones will be thinned this weekend in all probability, at which point a rough final count of what should end up going into the ground will be made. Hopefully there will still be enough to survive hardening off...
