FFF Photo a Day - Day 341

The weather has been beautiful and the snow barely covers the ground. 

Our violas are confused and are still blooming! 

Another batch of chicklets!

FFF Photo a Day - Day 149

Our second batch of chicklets moved in today. Geese, turkeys and more broilers (meat chickens) are exploring the greenhouse. 

It never seems to fail... we always get the chicks the day before a cold, clear night. The forecast indicates that we will dip down to minus 1C! 

Fingers crossed that all our preparations will keep them cozy! Now... to cover all the plants!

Not just another pretty face!

FFF Photo Day - Day 76

Gaston is a 8 month old Dexter bull calf. Him and his mother have been enjoying the sun and warm weather. 

Worried about water...

FFF Photo a Day - Day 75

We rely on our retention pond on our property to irrigate our fields and our animals throughout the warmer months. 

The unseasonably warm weather we have had over the past few weeks has melted the snow and ice from around the pond. 

Typically at this time of year we see our pond full to overflowing, brimming with snowmelt. I've never seen it so low. 

This doesn't bode well for the upcoming growing season. Let's hope for some steady spring rains to bring things back to normal!
