spring has sprung

Spring is well underway in the yard. Took these photos couple weeks back. I hit a nest of mice (at least 10) in the compost. The kids temporarily imprisoned a couple of them--both of which, fortunately, made good their escape.



And, the Schwartz's have chickens again. :) We were supposed to have five, but grandpa talked us into 10 and then he went and got his own! Oh well. I'm sure we'll find a good home for a few of 'em. (Freezer)
