It felt like MARCH came in like a Lion here at the FARM so we are hoping it goes out like a LAMB....and that Spring is surely on its way!
Hoping that everyone that celebrates St. Patrick's Day had enjoyable festivities!
Well as I write we are mid-way through the month of March. With all it's winds, dampness and cool temperatures - not to mention the ICE. I do try to embrace it, knowing it is a right of passage into the warmer months ahead. A walk in the fields has become somewhat dangerous and one that spikes, snowshoes with spikes or ski/walking poles with spikes will not even help. As a few days hit the plus 9 mark last weekend it helped somewhat and has now just left little "islands" of ice to navigate around.

We finally have our newest addition here at the farm. Our lovely mare Reign gave birth a couple of weeks ago to "Frankie" - a filly foal - full of spunk! Mom and daughter are doing well.
before Mom and babe
could venture outside in the paddock closest to the barn as there was too much ice around.
Things have since melted and they are seen here enjoying some outdoor activity.
Looking forward to the Spring Days ahead when they can go for a gallop in the bigger fields!
Will try to capture it on video for the blog!

As we await April, Easter and spring weather, we hope that the ice and snow melt does not cause too much grief for folks. With all the snow up north we hope that the low lying areas in our neck of the woods are not subject to flooding...fingers crossed.
Also a shout out to the Maple Syrup Producers - wishing you cool nights and warm days for a great sap run.
Until next time,
Jeanne & Kim
