After several days of pouring rain, the clouds broke up today and the sun appeared. The Ramsay hens presented us with the first egg!
The fields are still squelchy with water, but everything is beautifully green and blooming. Along with the green grass and leaves on the trees, here are a couple of noteworthy inhabitants of the woods:
 |
| Time to start watching our steps--poison ivy is getting a healthy-looking start. |
 |
| Baby blackberries, I think. |
Buttercups and now a few small poppies are blooming in the hay fields. It's remarkable how much can change in just a few weeks--this field was a wintry brown several weeks ago.
 |
| Wildflowers in the NW field. |
 |
| Green field, new leaves and cloud shadows on the mountains. |
This week there have been several "teams" working here. The interior decorators, electricians and painters have been hard at work for several days. Today, the landscaping crew was here in the afternoon, mowing, clipping and clearing all the lawn areas, the exterminator from Orkin was here in the afternoon to treat all the dwellings, and Sherry was here completing her housekeeping work.
Guests are expected tomorrow for the weekend, and it appears that the weather will remain fine.
