On Saturday morning, I went to Gaston Farm
For the Open Lambing Weekend.
I held two beautiful ducklings: one black; one white;
One tried to peck at my jumper stripes.
I held two extremely lovely golden chicks
All four were very delicate, soft and smooth.
I wanted to take them all home and keep them as pets.
I went to the sheep barn next door
And watched all the baby lambs.
One of the two I saw was fifteen minutes old.
He was nuzzling his Mama
And as I watched,
He learned to stand up on his second try, so bold.
I saw his new baby brother being born.
Then I had a ride on the tractor around the farm.
Saturday night it was early to sleep
As Easter Bunny would be driving along in her jeep.
Easter Bunny comes in the middle of the night
So I closed my eyes and kept them shut tight.
Sunday morning I opened my presents
After checking around the house to find what was there.
Easter eggs and a Lego box,
I opened them up with lots of care.
One of my presents was a TY toy.
His name is Brownie.
Each of my toys is a boy.
I went to the Boggie fair and played on the rides
Including ten goes on a really big slide.
I had to hook some ducks numbered 1, 2 or 3:
Number three won the Ice Age racoon
Which would be perfect for me.
I hooked a one, then a number two
And won a husky called Iceberg and Drangy Doo.
In the afternoon we planted flowers,
Herbs and food for the Spring,
I watered them well and scattered slug repellent things.
I caught slugs for the birds
To mix with old cereal on their plate.
I watched as every now and then
A bird swooped down and ate.
Welcome Spring, I am glad you are here
This is the most exciting time of the year!
