Mud Season

We’ve finally moved beyond snow to mud season. We’ve been here before. The snow cleared off and then we got hit with more. But this time, it looks like spring is here to stay. The goats are shedding. Green things are starting to grow.

We’ve been pretty busy with church stuff lately. Jeffrey was elected trustee so he is now on the board too. We are trying to come up with things we can do that will benefit the community and also bring people to the church. It takes up a bit of our weekends, but it’s something we need to do.

The chickens are laying regularly and it looks like both the geese and turkeys are ready to start. We are trying to come up with some shelters for them, as we’d like them to go broody and nest. We’ve got some building plans for this year but that will need to wait until summer. First we need to put in a garden. I think we are going to try digging up a spot next weekend and let the chickens dig through it for a bit. It’s still too early to plant, but not too early to prepare. And I think I can finally uncover the big rosemary plant and find out how it came through the winter. Some of the bulbs I transplanted are about to come into bloom too.
