Spring is on the Way.........

....We have started lambing. The first lamb was born at the farm yesterday which for us means the beginnig of the farming year . The snow is slowly thawing and it is not so icy cold as it was. There are snowdrops and aconites leaves appearing which have been hidden under the snow. I walked with May the Labrador and Daisy, cocker spaniel-both who will be having their babies in the next week or two, down the drive this afternoon and thought I might see the daffodils starting to come through but they are still well tucked away out of the cold.The sun has been shining. It is getting dark now but little by little the days are drawing out.
