I've never made it a secret that spring is my favourite season around here. I love the varying shades of green of the different grasses. I love the way the sun slowly warms the air beckoning the various flowers to come into full bloom! I love the way the farm looks - cloaked in green & covered in beautiful pastures!
I also love our mischievous jersey cow Bessy!
She thinks she is a dog & follows us everywhere (well where she can get to - thankfully she isn't climbing fences yet!) - she even runs after the ute - silly cow!
(Please forgive Ellie's farm clothes - they will be thrown as soon as we are out of winter clothes!)
We have buds on so many tree - here buds cover the orange trees - ready to burst into full bloom at some point soon - don't orange blossoms just have the prettiest perfume?
How spring looks from my kitchen - Out every window is a beautiful picture - only real! (well except for the front garden which is full of overgrown barley grass - reminds me I have to spray it today!- not so beautiful)
The veges planted during winter in the greenhouse are finally growing - I can't wait to taste them YUM!!
The snowpeas are already being harvested (with a little help from the chooks hmmm...)
I love strawberry plants - I have a couple here & there to try & trick the chooks into not getting them all:)
Various bulbs that I planted last autumn are now bursting into bloom - so beautiful! I'm looking forward to spring next year when they should be twice as prolific!
Wildflowers - ripe for the eating (well if you're a cow!)
Eggs - we have almost a dozen a day! We are loving our fresh, properly free-ranged eggs. No other egg tastes as good - or is as good for you! This one was a double yocker (must be all those snowpeas - LOL)!
Our barley crop is growing slowly but surely - it was quite water logged which gave it a slow start - as well as being later into the ground than last years! Oh well - sure is pretty though!
Children playing outside - enjoying this warmer weather!
How I love this time of year!
Hope you enjoy this time of year wherever you are - whether autumn or spring!

I remember my mum used to get a fair few double yolker eggs with her free-range chooks. Once she found an enormous egg in the nest box and was sure it would have at least 2 yolks, but it just turned out to be one huge yolk!!
We have also planted some veggie seeds, and now that we have found out we are moving I am glad we planted them in pots so we can give them away before we go.
A beautiful time of year for being outdoors. I love the picture of the jersey munching on flowers - sweet.
Good to hear how your garden grows and admiring your clever chickens and their eggs.
What a beautiful farm and place for your kids to grow up. I find it absolutely adorable that your cow follows the kids around like a puppy. I love Spring but Fall is the season my heart yearns for.
Looks amazing Renata!! Very different from when we saw your farm 18mths ago! I love spring too - all my bulbs are in full bloom now - i think that's the bit of spring i most enjoy since moving south! and the warm spring breeze has even come the last 2 days down here...YAy winter is gone :)
We had jerseys when I was a child, lovely to share all the joys of your blessed acres.
Love, Jan
Isn't spring the best?! Your farm is just so beautiful. :) I love the pic of your children with their cow, so cute!! xx
How beautiful.....it's all so pretty, and the darlings are even prettier (even Missy in her jeans - some people pay a lot of money for torn jeans lol). As I write this, two sleeps to go woohoo!!!!! (Be only one when you read it, I suspect!!!!).
Apparently the airline is back on board...see you Friday!!!! Lots & lots of love from Mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
LOVE it! When I was younger our family lived on a farm in Iowa- loved it!!!!! Beautiful :)
My sentiments exactly!
I feel happier have a smile on my face and we are only just getting double figure temps but it makes a difference to have 16 degrees not 4 or 5.
Our wattles are blooming and the kids again are venturing outdoors.....Love spring!
Such a beautiful post! I was blessed by being able to enjoy farm life as a child. I hope I get to experience that again! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! I accidently deleted your comment in the excitement of discovering that I had won. I am so sorry! Please stop back by soon!
You're right, there's nothing like spring on a farm!
I agree spring is an wonderful time of year.
I just adore spring as well, i LOVE al the pics, you really are blessed. I can't wait for our chickens to start laying although we need a few more hens i think and i LOVE your Jersey cow, i have been asking joe to buy us a jersey cow.... but for now i'll have to look at the pics of Bessy :-)
