It was this kind of day.
The sunny and warm throw open the door and slide up the screen type of day. Love these wonderful spring days when you can air out musty old winter and welcome fresh new spring. Though we actually weren't indoors most of the day as we were outside doing yardwork. It finally stopped raining and we (er, hubby) was able to mow the grass, while I continued my never-ending task of removing stones in the yard along the driveway. Everything looks so green and beautiful after the rain. It was amazing to see how much had grown within the last several rain-filled days. The buds on the trees are beginning to emerge and soon their branches too will be nice and full. Even inside my greenhouse the first sprout of life made an appearance.
My boy was pretty darn excited to see life in his sunflower pots. It was just too beautiful a day not to share it with everyone, so we brought Odette outside for a little outdoor fun.
It was her first outing and she loved exploring the backyard and feeling the touch of grass beneath her feet. I wanted to bring the chicks out but thought they were still too young. But they were able to enjoy a bit of sunshine. I had moved the brooder to the front room tucked within the bay window and by midday sun shone warmly inside the brooder. They all vied for a spot under the warm sunshine even though I kept the brooder lamp going. A little vitamin D will do us all some good.
