In faith of the coming spring, I have started to crochet our spring blanket (in the basket).
Gerard's contribution is the yarn outside the basket. (We woke up to this creation of his one morning.)
Playing with yarn is his new favorite game. It's adorable...but can make knitting challenging!
He's actually become quite affectionate of late (at least for him). He loved his new perch after we rearranged some furniture last weekend, and didn't waste any time claiming it as his own.
Our crayfish enjoy perching atop the aquarium plants.
That particular elodea plant used to be quite a few inches taller...
When they're not pruning the plants, they're attacking the crayfish on the other side of the glass. They don't seem to suffer from an excess of intelligence.
Meanwhile, the birds are enjoying being outside! The side of the cabin and under the rabbit hutches are their favorite hangouts. On days with melting snow, they scrounge for whatever grass they can find. The geese are certainly the most industrious of our birds.
In between thaws, we're still having some winter. We had a very spring-like snow this week -- wet and heavy and falling fast.
You can see the smokehouse-in-progress.
We think spring is coming, but we're still enjoying winter!
