New plants, chickens happy, first mow

 New crocus bulbs are coming up.  Its so cool when all the efforts of fall bulb planting come to life.  Its encouraging and gives me motivation to work outside when its yucky and rainy.

We had 4 days in a row of NO RAIN... yippeeee.  So we got a lot done.

We got our first lawn mow of the year done.  Which is a big deal because there is always so much debris around after a winter here.  We have lots of tree branches that fall and little branches that get caught up in the law tractor.  Somehow rocks just seem to magically appear also.  So I collected two bins (newspaper bins) and one garbage can full so my husband could mow.




We also were able to get out with our chiken tractor more.  HWich makes the chickens happy.  So happy we had our first 3 egg day... where all three of our adults hcickens layed their eggs.


We also put together a composter we got from Costo... and it took about 5 hours to put it together and it almost killed us.  I have no picture of it... because it was so awful.  But the intent is to compost teh chicken manure and other things from the property.  We will see if it works!

Everyone needs a pink flamingo in their yard right???
