Spring Musings..etc.

I am very happy to see Spring has arrived.  Time to frolick in the meadow, stop and smell the flowers, embrace the warmth of the sun...  UGH!! Yea, right!  Time to get the farm in ship shape, not dress in layers, check all of the hay equipment to make sure it's in proper running order.  Boring I know, but such is life on the farm.
I am very glad though, the cattle are happy and weaning themselves from the hay to the green grass.  They are very playful and happy when they have a little green to munch on.  Spring on the farm is really a beautiful time.  Walking outside to get the paper first thing in the morning, having that first cup of chocolate coffee, and during the week, watching the news starting at 5 am.  
I start my day with Bill, Barb, Todd and Officer Don (who I happen to know is a very congenial person).  Watching them start the day laughing and joking with each other would make even the grumpiest man on earth (my dad) crack a smile..
Then comes breakfast..  Some days bananas, some days just java.  It's all good.  I am very sporadic in my eating early in the morning, but rest assured, the cows are not.  They like their breakfast every morning right on time.  And,  I happily oblige..
So, that pretty much sums up a country morning.  It may sound repititious, but it is the best routine to be in....
