Signs of Spring

Even though we have a month before spring officially begins, signs of spring were all around today.

The horses are shedding profusely. Look what one scrape of the shedding blade produced from Melody's shoulder.


The daffodils are on the brink of blooming.


Chloe notices some others that are just coming up.


Crocuses are blooming near the cat statue.


Jim-Bob pretends he's a cat statue, too.


Soon Eddie-puss and Chloe help Jim-Bob look for signs of spring.


Chloe looks in the butterfly bush, but it's too early for butterflies.


Eddie-puss looks under the rake.


Dylan checks out all the trimming I've done.


Later, Dylan finds something interesting. Can it be—?


Yes! It's fresh catnip!


And it's so gooood!
