When we reached a record breaking 90 degrees earlier this week, we decided it was time to start shearing the sheep!  They were laying around and panting.  We only have one more sheep to go yet.  Of course, now that we have them nearly naked, the weather has turned wet and cold.  They look unrecognizable and it seemed they did not recognize each other after their haircuts.  We are anticipating getting some new sheep added to the flock.  We also had two births this Spring.  One born 3/3 and the other 4/4.  I'm looking forward to having them all Summer long now.  

Due to the wet "Spring" we have had, if you want to call it that, we have not been able to transplant many apple trees.  Apple blossom is also delayed.  It usually occurs during Mother's Day week.  I'm expecting it in the next couple of weeks.  Another delay was our honey bees.  We got the bees started later this year too.  The greenhouse is up and running.  Lots of tomatoes and purple coneflowers.
