A Stroll in the Yard

Damn the clunky walker! Today I ventured out for a walk with nothing but a cane. It was faster but I had to be careful not to trip in the lumpy yard. The boys were grazing and came right over fully expecting to get some treats. Of course I couldn't disappoint them. Notice their wool all around the pen, dripping from the fence and hanging from them in ropes. It's a messy time of year.



So this picture is out of alignment and I can't figure out why. Let's live with it. The boys are hanging out by the gate in case I come back with more treats. I think they need a rubbing post but not sure what to get.

Hattie got back from her walk and was delighted to find me outside. Things will get back to normal some day.


Hellebores in bloom! These are a pretty pink but I have them in various shades from deep purple to white.


Daffodils are popping up everywhere, even the compost pile. There is no getting rid of them.
