The Stink of Spring

Although it has not been warm enough here yet to really qualify for a post about spring, the smell of our spring cleaning in the barn is one that you just never will forget….

Or the boys who wear the smell on every part of their being as they re-enter the house after the spring cleaning is done.

I think these stinky boys drug 40 or more loads out of the barn by hand since the tractor is still in many pieces all over the shop floor since last fall! But the stink is no more….in the barn, or on the boys. I made them strip at the back door and then I put all the stink right into the wash machine as they headed to the showers.

Spring cleaning is good! The animals are happy, and the hard workers were well rewarded with homemade frozen banana, peanut butter, chocolate chip “chunky monkey” blizzards. Spring, we are ready for you!
