It’s very bright! Missed her rising. Clear and VERY cold by us tonight. Down to 32 degrees. I have the greenhouse buttoned up and some things have double covers over them until morning. Not the Pansies, though. Those are TOUGH!
Spring is definitely here; the fields all around me, for as far as I can see, are full of planting activity. Ryan has been hauling manure through here all day to the fields, and Beau did an awesome job with his compost pile thanks to Ithaca and Chuck - their stalls are now cleaner than clean and cooking away in the barn yard for future use on my garden beds.
I still can’t get over how that last batch of puppies we raised just LOVED hanging out with and even SLEEPING with, Chuck! And no one got squished! It’s a sad time for the puppies, though. They are learning all about Condo and Kennel Life. And they are NOT happy to have their freedom taken away. :(
My little chicks continue to put out feathers - in less than a month they’ll be all feathered out.
God Bless the future Harvest. Life Is Good. Amen!
A nice recap! We had hail here last evening, lasted about a half hour, grape sized. Crazy. I am having to put all my seedings that started in peat pots into small pots with garden soil. Looks like after Friday maybe some of them can go outside for the day.
Two items of note:
1. NO pecking on the house shortly after sunrise the last 2 mornings. I think I got the right bird.
2. Weed eating the huge bank & culverts in front of the new house this afternoon. First time this season so the grass is/was long - taking several passes to get it shorter & shorter until mowed grass height. A 20-something young guy stopped & offered to cut the bank for me - just happened to have his weed eater in his Jeep. He told me later he went home & got it after seeing me working & came back to help. I offered gas money, but he wouldn’t take it. He got about 3/4 (& the worst part) of the the bank done before he ran out of gas. I had run through the 3 batteries for the old weed eater soon after he started. A new weed eater is on order & I should have it May 3-6.
