spring is...

robins robins everywhere.

looking for wild daffodils.

grape hyacinths in the pasture.

damp soil.

planting the vegetable garden.

fresh air and sunshine...finally!

What can I add?

If anyone lives in Lancaster, do come see my choir's production of Anne of Green Gables. It will be held at Leola Elementary School on March 20th and 21th. Tickets at the door are $15, but if you pre-order on the website they are $12. Hurry up, sales close on March 12th! 

This is a very interesting one man show about C. S. Lewis that my family and I watched last night. 

I think we can all agree that these are a really good idea.

Squeeeee.

It is now official: Anne has departed. Two or three Saturdays ago, Dad saw her being eaten by a hawk across the road. Since the chickens are brown her body was camouflaged among the leaves, so we hadn't seen her before. 

It's good that we know where and how it happened. We've had a near miss since than, but no losses. The hawk hasn't shown its face in the past couple days. I'm hoping the warmer weather has given it some other prey to hunt.
