After a long winter under the specter of the COVID-19 pandemic, spring snuck in at Live and Let Live Farm in Chichester, N.H., after a string of warmer days this week.
The farm, which takes in abused and neglected animals, is still restricting visits due to the pandemic, but adoptions can be arranged by appointment.
Horses bathed in afternoon sunshine and newly arrived sheep and goats ventured out to inspect their environment.
Puppies and kittens bounced around in their cages, hoping for attention from anyone that passed by.
For now, a sense of calm and safety settles in as the weather changes. For more information, go to liveandletlivefarm.org.
