As I was finishing mowing when the sun was setting, the pink blossoms of the Wild Geranium in the ditch were catching the last rays of the sun before it slipped away for the night.

I think this horse was happier yesterday in the sunshine eating the new spring grass than today in the damp, drizzly wet weather.

On a cold spring night, where cranberry growers where out running sprinklers to protect the vines and farmers were making trips to the barn checking on the cows calving, the skies to the north provided an array of colors to entertain them during their work.

A number of mothers will receive flowers from their children today and moms will love us even if we bring them a bouquet of dandelions! Some years we would walk down to the woods and look for wildflowers and there are many varieties open right now, even some bleeding hearts in the yard.

Today was a nice spring day and there were calves kicking up their heels if not napping in the sunshine.

A brief moment of sun through the storm clouds allowed a rainbow to form in the sky but it didn’t last long so I didn’t get to the pond in time to catch the reflection in the water.

Farmers have been busy with spring planting and there is a little more ‘horsepower’ in this outfit than the draft horses pictured last week.
