The weather has been so horrible, that we just had to get out a bit...so we went to a local lake and took a little hike around. We were out for about an hour before it started to rain again, but at least we made it out for a while, right?
We say some geese on the water and one that we think may have been sitting on some eggs.
Cullen took this pic of the ground...he said that the lighter discolored part looks like the moon. Can you see it??? 
Selling rabbits each spring is a real family adventure for us. We usually have anywhere from 15-30 baby rabbits to sell each spring for the Easter season. The kids get right out there and help us out, because we usually use the money for season passes to one of the area amusement parks. Last year was six flags, this year, silver dollar city. We started this weekend and only sold a couple...it was freezing out and the kids got cold and discouraged, so we came home early, but it all counts to the good. This is Simone and Kenny sitting in the back of the durango "looking " for potential customers, don't they look thrilled??? Anyone want an Easter Bunny???? 
Well it is starting to look a lot like Spring here in Missouri. The daffodils are blooming and they are so pretty too. The weather here to day was absolutely wonderful and up in the mid 70's. 
These are some of my most favorite flowers...but I am partial to any thing that is yellow really. The best part is that they are coming out and it means Spring starting to bloom! These daffodils are only 3 years old and are a great addition to our homestead but they are also a great indicater of spring . 
Well, here is a bit of our hard work...this is our new garlic bed. It is 6 ft by 6 ft square. The old bed was falling apart and needed an "update". We cleaned it out and planted the garlic.
The chicken tractor. Well this is a nice one. We have 3 hens and 1 roo in the tractor. It is small enough to pull around our yard and let them eat up the grass and bugs and hopefully lay eggs too.
Now here you have our 8 new raised beds and 3 of the 4 "animal" pens that we have made so far. They are 4 ft by 8 ft. We will grow in 4 beds at a time, with the rabbits or quail living over the other 4, fertilizing them for free all year. We will switch the beds each year. 
Well, here it is, a nice sunny day...
and now with 8 inches of snow!!!
happy rabbits in the warm one day
Where are the rabbits, the next day...
We were thrilled with the Eagle. It is the second time we spotting it. This first picture is of the Eagle nest that is at Montauk State Park in Missouri. The park is only about 20 minutes away from us and we are regulars there. We have acted as campground hosts and camp their throughout the year. During our last camping trip, we were on the lookout for the Eagle for several days. I know where his nest is, but didn't actually spot him until the last day and well, this is what we saw...
high up in the sky, flying right over us! We were thrilled to death to see it. We just wanted to share this awesome and wonderful event with everyone else.
