What a difference just a little warm weather can make! We had a really warm week with a little rain, followed by a bit of a chill, but overall, spring is here. I just had to post a picture of the difference in the bottom field. We'll be weaning and moving goats likely this weekend. There is a blend of grasses and legumes, and what I think is my chicory or the rape coming up. I'm not sure which. I need to get better at plant identification. We also need to lime the front areas to get some better stuff growing. My aunt has always told me that broomstraw is a natural pH monitor - when the broomstraw grows, you know you need some lime.

| The bottom field April 21, 2013. It's about time. Note the blond heads. |

| Some grass, clover, and alfalfa. |

| Even the top field is starting to catch up with the goats. |
