Maria began cleaning up the gardens today. Several are already growing flower buds. This is the vegetable garden, which supplies a good chunk of our food throughout Spring and Summer. Fate and Zinnia supervised. The day was cold at first. We planned on going to Mass MoCA in Massachusetts, but the sun came out, and I got a bug to take some flower photos, and Maria got a bug to be outside gardening.  This is our idea of taking a day off, I guess.

It was a beautiful day; I am glad to be alive and grateful for all the good things in my life.  I will also work on my spiritual life; it brings me closer to bliss than ever.

One hour of meditation, sitting outside and watching the sunset with Zip on my shoulder.

Most of our summer vegetables grow in the garden, and kale and garlic are already popping up. Maria was cleaning the garden and preparing for the real spring. I took some photos I loved. I’ll post them later this afternoon, as well as my flower art.

Kim, our shy sheep, watches me in the barn when I come on the other side. When I get close, she backs away. She is our shyest sheep, the only shy one.

As winter approached, the birds began to show their mating colors.

I went out for an hour, and my assistant, Zip, joined me as I took some photos. I pushed him off the table, and he sat on his couch.
