Hello May

Spring seemed to drag it's heels a bit this year but now it's made it's mind up it really seems to be going for it.  On Sunday we went to feed the rabbits at Westland Greenhouses and it was cool enough for coats, the rabbits didn't have appropriate clothing and didn't want to come out, not even to see Rose the bunny so I will no doubt be going there with her again soon.

We had a tour of the whole 3 acre facility and even Jacob was impressed.  They have a computerized watering system which mixes in the correct level of fertilizer, windows that open and shut on on a sensor system and the roof is white washed and then cleaned once a year with a helicopter.  Here are the kids in one of the public greenhouses, they had the doors through to the wholesale area open at the back,  I don't know if you can really tell but it was huge.

Anyway, I digress, today it is about 20 degrees and I'm thinking about suntan lotion and going on to the Capri phase of trouser reduction for this year (prior to long shorts, then short shorts).  The kids are fully into shorts mode and have both gone from woolly hat to sun hat with no gap in between.

Jacob didn't want his summer outfit photographed
