More signs of spring around the farm…

Growing kittens…

The two white babies are siamese - if you please!

Coats shed as the day warms…

Cat napping, coat nipping, it's just plain cute.

One son showing another how Dad taught him to find the wheat head…

Split the stem.

Peel it open.

Hold a miracle in the palm of your hand.

This is extra special because this wheat is growing right inside our own garden. When Grandma was in the hospital this fall and Daddy was sowing wheat, Farmer Boy went out himself, collected grains of wheat, and planted his very own patch on the north end of the garden. He has watered, hoed and tended it since September. He has celebrated it’s growth and seen it mature before his very eyes.

I can’t wait to see how he decides to harvest it when June comes.

  1. Alison, I thought of you when I posted the kitten picture since you loved the last one. It’s eye candy for cute-lovers.

  2. I love how your boys are learning about farming by being included, and by doing what dad does. :) Looks like a great wheat head to me! :)

  3. Oh and kittens!!!! We had to put down one of our cats yesterday, and Eloise’s sister cat not long ago. Just Eloise left. :( And, of course the three dogs… we are pet nuts! :)

  4. I am so thrilled you have an iphone so you can post these great pictures – love them!
