Warmer weather means more photo taking for me...thus the long post of photos for the month of April. Believe it or not, this was narrowing it down! I love to photograph all of the spring blossoms, and of course, capture all of the spring happenings on our farm.
Highlights from this month: My baby sister, Shelby, got engaged!!! David and Russell both had birthdays, we finished planting all of our spring wheat and barley, and planted and cultivated our potato crops. We adopted two new baby goats, Benny & Bea. We even had a nice Idaho spring snow storm that covered everything in about 4" of wet snow, and then we went right back to nice spring weather. We had a wonderful Easter, filled with egg hunts, Easter baskets, family picnics, and even new bikes for Lily and Kate. I repainted Grace's bedroom and surprised her while she was out of town at a fiddle contest, and I surprised David with an overnight trip to Jackson for his birthday. David, Grace, and I made strawberry freezer jam to stock up the freezer. We started hiking/walking in the hills behind home in the mornings, and as always, we've spent plenty of time playing outside and enjoying our pets, each other, and the beautiful weather.
You are such a talented lady in many ways, an inspiration.
I love photography too and have some nice photos and about nature too.
Thanks soooo much for sharing pictures of your beautiful family and amazing farm!

Lindy...thank you so much for asking about May and June. Last summer, June somehow got out of our fence and was hit by a car. We couldnt find her and searched for a week straight. Our sweet neighbor found her under a tree on their property and we think she was hit and disoriented and then ran to hide. Poor May was so sad and lonely...she stopped eating and became very lethargic. We found her dead in the flower bed a few weeks later. It breaks my heart to even think about it. It was very hard on our family.

Hi Sherelle, can you please tell us what happened to May and June? We only see the other two now? They were so cute, and Russ' best friend was June? I don't have an instagram acct., as I know you could answer back on there, but I can't leave this message there :-( Did something happen to them?

As always, thank you for sharing your family with us. They are growing and looking happy with all of the farm activities. Such a blessing to be able to raise kids in that environment, I think they learn so much more about life and family. Looking forward to your next post. Thank you again.
