These days have been busy in garden, in school and in life generally. We did take a break for the day and head down to the zoo with friends. It was such a fun day.

| No, it's not the infamous April the Giraffe. |
 |
| This big feline decided to take a nap in the shade. |
 |
| Speaking of sleeping cats, we had 5 kittens born in the barn last night. |
 |
| The upper field is a carpet of sweet smelling white clover but these two little buds of red clover popped up as well. |
 |
| And I'm very excited because my Queen Ann's Lace is starting to bloom. |
