I have not been to the farm since Saturday, March 22nd, a lot has changed since then. All the pasture areas have really grown, so much that one of the neighbors has asked to mow and bale some of the areas later this summer. The last time Lois and I were there, we had planted trees and shrubs, I checked on all of these and took pictures of them. You can barely see the red and white azaleas in this picture. The pink one's had already bloomed, the red and white one's were blooming. They all looked in good shape. I also planted a white dogwood in with these. The two red buds were also doing good, as was the Yoshino cherry tree.
Also checked on the 3 Hazelnuts plants that were planted last fall they were looking good. The Iris that was planted early this spring were doing good. The forsythia that we planted died for some reason.
On this trip I planted 3 female princess and 1 male prince hollies bushes, 2 rhubarb plants, a bunch of white tulips, a few pink tulips.
I also planted a Burr Oak tree,
a Sargent Crabapple,
Canadian Hemlock, Washington Hawthorne and Arrowwood Vibrunium. These were planted down by the south pond where we want to build our house.
Also took pictures of some of the trees and plants that are blooming on the farm, there was a tree that I have no idea what it is that has purplish flowers on it. See picture 
There were several white dogwoods and a lot of white daffodils 
Checked on the game camera and there was 585 pictures on it, you'll be able to see some of those on the other blog (Happy Trail Farm Game Camera Pictures) . All the corn was gone from the deer feeder and I didn't bring any to fill it up. It looked like coons have been trying to climb up to get to the corn.
You can see the foot prints on the legs of the feeder.
I did do some fishing while I was there, did it all in the south pond as the other pond is still muddy looking. I ended up catching 32 crappie and 12 nice bluegill. I kept all the crappie as they will take over a pond if you don't get them out of a pond.
