I went for a walk on Sunday, and I know for sure that spring is here.

Do I know it just by the flowering trees in this picture? Nope.

Or this picture? Nope.

Could it be by the green grass in my sister’s yard? Nope.

Well, all of these are sure signs of spring, but I knew it was really spring when I saw this guy (feeling a little flat in this photo). He/she had been crossing the road headed toward the river when the trip was interrupted.

When I went for this walk, I felt like I was leading a parade. A bunch of kids followed me. No…not “kids” as in human kids! Goats!!

Here’s some more signs of spring and the business of rural life here in Mendota. New fencing…

Clothes on the line…can you smell the sheets in your imagination? (Little disclosure…this picture was made Saturday and those sheets are STILL on the clothesline.) These sheets make me feel heady…three sheets to the wind!
