April Showers...

I think I wrote a huge post here and it got deleted. I am not rewriting it.


I feel so guilty!

I don't think this will hatch.
At least 6 times I have looked at my blog and said I need to update and I just haven't. I have been planting though, after the chickens have eaten all the seeds I left out I decided to go with seedlings. I also need to fence the garden area. They are very helpful with the bug dispersal but they also like to throw my mulch everywhere and stand on my plants and eat every seed.

Their new trick is roosting on my porch, the car, the garage, the AC box and anywhere else that is not their actual barn. Free ranging does have it's downside. Everyday I have to actually look for eggs all over my yard. They hide them everywhere. I know I am missing some so one day I will come across a huge egg hoard.
    I have several ducks sitting on nests right now. I can not wait until they hatch. I love duck peeps. I hope the predators don't eat them. Our neighbors in front of us have left and their house is for short sale. I would love to have that place. It is almost 6 acres with a small pond. It might be under contract right now but I am hoping my friend DW will get it. He will let me use the acreage and the house as a rental.
Spring has been very pretty.
We didn't have a good
Fall or winter so I am glad
Spring didn't disappoint.I am going to try update more often but I will be very busy this month planting, fencing, and getting very dirty. Whoo hoo!
