Evening Walk

These photos were taken one evening while we were walking out in the pasture. The barn is across the road from our place.

Raspberries

A week ago we got several raspberry starts. Andrew and I had fun planting them together. He did most of the planting and I took pictures:)

Early Gardening

My cabbage and broccoli starts are doing very well. They like the greenhouse that Andrew made out of the stove. The garden fence is coming along. We made some beds and I planted some early cool weather seeds out yesterday. Today we picked up some mulch and got some raspberry plants. We are enjoying the spring weather and looking forward to the harvest.

Crusty Bread

I found a recipe in a magazine for bubbly, crusty bread so I gave it a try. It turned out wonderful! I have never made bread that was so much like bread from a good bakery before.

Baby Chicks

We have forty baby chickens in the house right now. Half are layers and half are meat birds. They are quite cute and fun to watch. This morning I found one of the little Rhode Islands sleeping on top of the waterer. They were all in one box together, but they were getting so crowded that yesterday I separated them into two boxes.

Wildflower

Isn't this pretty?

Spring

The weather has been so nice the last few days that we have been spending a lot of time outside. We bought some small trees from the conservation district. Those have all been planted now. We have also been working on getting the garden spot ready. We have been working on the fence and tilling the whole area.
Today we are running errands. We picked up some grape vines to plant, got some garlic and seed potato, and are picking up forty baby chicks. We should be busy for awhile.

Our little trees.
