Cabin Fever

The coldness has past here in Wenatchee. Snow is melting and the birds are building nests in the garage door runner. Time to start thinking about all the spring projects. Making a 36' X 5' raised bed for gardening. Will be planting in May. The cover crop on main garden has not yet bloomed and I'm afraid it will not due to all the straw and chicken manure. Chickens have been laying 6 eggs each day during the cold, hopefully with the weather warming they will start laying 9 one each. In April the chickens will lose all there feathers and stop laying for about 6 week. This should be very interesting featherless hens?

Month Gone By

The New Year has brought unexpected changes to our family! When we told Grandpa good-bye on Christmas Day we all said "We'll see you next Sunday for your 80th Birthday Party". On New Year's Eve he went to heaven. We had to instead celebrate his life and tell him good-bye on the day we were going to have the party. I'm reminded to make the most of each day and always tell the ones close to you how much you love and appreciate them.
