"The year's at the spring

And the day's at the morn;

Morning's at seven;

The hill-side's dew-pearled;

The lark's on the wing;

The snail's on the thorn;

God's in his heaven--

All's right with the world!"

--Robert Browning, Pippa Passes

Spring Coreopsis and daisies...

On Sunday, these cows came from the end of our road, and having got into our neighbors fence, they stood and stared longingly through the fence at the hay we provide for our steer!

We were delighted when this Canada goose glided down, and sailed on our pond for a little, before deciding the pond was too small, and taking leave!
