What season is it?

Today was an unexpectedly beautiful and almost warm day - especially appreciated after last week's several nights of frosts and hard freezes, and yesterday's rain! So, it probably comes as no surprise that we spent most of the daylight hours outside. I worked in the garden, digging and amending planting holes for some blueberry plants we have ordered (we're going to try out 3 varieties - 2 plants each - to see what does best here). Matt was busy out in Santa's workshop... but no pictures of that! We wouldn't want to spoil any surprises. :)

The animals were happy to frolic in their little pasture, probably thinking it's spring. Oh - and, a single chicken has begun laying. We had actually assumed none would start laying until spring, but we've had small pullet eggs for 4 days, and we've seen one of the black hens in a nest box.
