And then spring arrived...

Anyone been wondering where we have been?  Not lingering in front of computer screens any more than we need to, that's for sure. Too much wonderful stuff happening in all corners of life - chicks hatching, gardens bursting forth, children growing, hosting large graduation parties and small groups of friends, and soaking in so much beauty around us.  Here are a few visual images of the last number of weeks:
Most recent hatch - they went to their new home last evening (friends are taking a flock of these Shenandoahs to try out one of the breeds Jason is working on developing)
One of several Easter egg hunts!
Always worth carving out time for a hike to the lake...
...and a picnic and time with good friends/housemates!
Not everyone is scurrying around - tough life these kiddos have...
Not a bad spot for checking out one's Easter egg "loot."
Enjoying little friends, who are determined not to stay little!
Will we get any peaches - we used a sprinkler to try to save the blooms on two of our three nights below freezing.
This is what the blooms looked like before the freezes - only time will tell...
Pictures don't do this rainbow justice. It was the first time we could see the entire arch of a double rainbow on the mountain in front of us.  Spectacular!
Alida's cherry trees in full bloom.
Potato planting day - even I got my hands in the dirt and a tool in my hands!
Extending the potato field by an additional 50 feet.
Loving a first (of many we hope) visit from the newest niece in the family.
More chick gazing!
And soccer season is here!
This chick is very likely not as into Alida as Alida is into the chick!
