Poultry Picnic Time
The chickens have been going outside for the last few days in these balmy 30 to 40 degree temperatures. They didn't go out before that because the snow was up against their door. Now there's a narrow path of mud and dry grass next to their house. Hopefully a few bugs or worms are hiding just below the surface. |

Spring is sprung, the sprouts is riz; I wonder where the grubworms iz.
The two tan containers on the right contain squash and pumpkin. The sprouts are from seeds I saved from the 2010 crop, and the cells on the right that haven't sprouted are from seed packets purchased in 2010. The black containers on the left are tomatoes. If they all look a little pale and spindly, it's because I just got them out of their dark sprouting place. A few days in the light will do them a world of good. The cucumbers, peppers and melons haven't sprouted yet.
After the long winter's sleep, I am renewed each spring when I see the first signs of rebirth. Every season of the year has wonderful gifts for us, and spring's first gift is the promise of life's continuity.
