I am so ready for spring.  I know that it is only March and I live in the Midwest, which means that winter may still be with me for many more weeks! However, I am SO ready for warmer weather!  As most of you know Christmas is my favorite holiday, so it would stand to reason that winter would be my favorite season.  Nope.  Winter is beautiful, but it seems to keep hanging on this year.  Just warming enough to tease me, then snowing once again.

Today it was beautiful outside.  The sun was shining and the ground was starting to get a bit squishy.  The kids were begging to get their bikes down, but that will have to wait for another day.  Instead we spent the day caring for our girls.  These little ladies have a pretty sweet set up.  The coup is heated and they have access to a large outside run.  The minor maintenance of changing the bedding is so worth the yummy eggs they give us!  

Marty has a bit of a sweet tooth and LOVES grapes.

The girls loved scratching around in the back yard.  I’m sure they were dreaming of spring too:)

Bree is our own little chicken whisperer.  She can be found cuddling and snuggling the girls any chance she gets.  Chickens might not be a “normal” city pet, but we love our urban girls!

I can’t wait til we start seeing the first signs of spring and I can begin digging in the gardens!  Are you as ready for spring as me and the girls?
