Farmer John has been busy burning pastures this past week. Controlled burns are good for the grass, provide non-chemical weed control, and yield a beautiful new growth of healthy green for the cattle.
The air is hazy and smells of smoke, and lots of people who have spring allergies are suffering. Mercifully my spring allergies seem to be dormant this year. I'm grateful.
Here are some photos of family life on the farm from this past month:

| Almost full moon rising on an early evening walk, March 18. |
 |
| Bunny craft project completed with the grandkids. |
 |
| Slime was new to me...I'm now a veteran, having made batches with all 4 grandkids this month. Eww. |
 |
| Nature's first green is gold.. |
 |
| Daniel, like his grandmother, has mixed feelings about slime! |
 |
| Rebekah and I took a morning walk and found lots of spring treasures--but her main love is rocks--we returned home with pocketsful of rocks that sparkled in the sun. |
 |
| John bought a new fairy garden house for me and the hedgehogs were gifts from my grand boys. |
 |
We celebrated our 45th anniversary this March!

I drove by thete today, Phil Dana and Jay were burning, too. It was a gorgeous day for a drive.
