In closing
Here in western Kentucky, we have four distinct seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Tax. Spring is also gardening season at home. I've been planting herbs while the  Bobfather and Beau toodle around "observing".

 

And a few days ago, I came home to find Little Bo Peep had lost her sheep...in our front yard. Mom and triplets decided not to hang around for lamb chops that night. So what's going on at your house this spring?
