The thermometer never reached 30 degrees today. It feels cold after we have had mild (35-45) degree weather the last few days. This was the view looking at my Mom's house yesterday afternoon. One minute it was sunny and about 32; the next minute we were getting a blizzard. Typical Maine spring weather ~ I love reading everyone's blogs with photos of flowers blooming and people planting their gardens. It gives me hope - spring really will come to the Northeast and stay, not just tease us :)
Even though I was too cold to work outside, the girls are loving it. They have fluffed in every soft spot they can find. Every time I look out the window, there is a chicken or two, pecking and singing, just happy to be alive :) 
Little Miss Diamond is already a nosy goatie. Great shot hey? I swear you can watch them grow. Having just the one so far (pout, pout) she's getting all the attention and loves it. I'm really glad in a way that the other doe's didn't kid today. Even in the barn with all the windows and sunshine, it's a cold day for babies. The weather will get warmer as the week progresses. Hope it's sunny and warm where you are : )

Really nice photos. I love your mother's house. And the baby too. so sweet. Sorry about the weather. Cold here too although no snow.
No, it's a chilly, wet day here. I'm feeling a little sorry for Braveheart and Browning, who are scheduled to lose their warm fleeces this afternoon!
Always happy to see chickens
Same kind of weather in Idaho. Saturday was a beauty. Then we had thunder, lightning and a blizzard all within an hour on Sunday. Today is just ugly...wind and overcast. Robert Frost said it best in his poem about "mudtime."
threecollie,
Thank you :) My Mom loves that little house. She's very meticulous about everything -it's like a dollhouse inside :)
Hope we get warm weather soon!
Michelle,
It's amazing how quickly the weather changes everywhere. I just didn't have heart to shear anyone today....hope all went well with your shearing :)
Jody Blue,
Chickens are just fun aren't they? :)
Leenie,
"mudtime" is one of my favorite poems :) The weather is extreme is all parts of the country. We had the wind as well today. Just too darn cold!
sweet post Deb, thank you.
That baby (kid) is just plain darling! I love her curly fur!

I love the fluffy white chickens. I'm looking forward to placing my order, but am afraid to get them too soon. We don't seem to be warming up quite yet.
