We are all so excited Spring is here!!  Our hens are excited Spring is here.  We can tell they like the extra daylight as our egg production is in high grear. I will have to get out the larger egg basket if the bounty continues like yesterday's.  One gold hen acts as if she may be broody, so i have put faux eggs under her in hopes she will stay on the nest and we can hatch some eggs the a'natural way!

Any reason is a good reason to get on the four-wheeler.  Dad's purpose was to plant seed, Pax purpose- to drive really fast.  Only one accomplished their purpose, see photo of chicken above... Mom let the chickens out... I think Dad's purpose was negated.
I have great help!  Yesterday, despite the cold we got outside and tended to one of our beds.  From this photo of Pax in tank top and flipflops, it's hard to tell, but it really was cold.  I had on coveralls! This bed was reworked and will be dedicated to herbs.
We dug tons of Iris bulbs out of that bed.  They are beautiful when they bloom, but we decided to use the space for more gardening.
She was sweet enough to allow the use of her wagon.  She gaurds it pretty close.  She doesn't want it messed up!  We moved a few things around and tried to straighten up a bit.
