Lots Going On Around Here!


That is a lot of trees. It doesn't look like it. This last week I planted or potted up over 500 trees!!! Some are for us...some are inventory for my new home based nursery...Springtime Nursery.

Here is a picture of Garrison pretending he is dying of thirst in the Sahara..actually just the Sand Dunes down the road.

And how sweet is that little face...aaahh. She is a handful though...I think she may be entering the "terrible twos".

Our first Shitake mushroom sprouting. Two months behind the scheduled emergence...but it is here at last. We ate it on pizza last night after it had quadrupled in size.

Our new chicks...I REALLY don't know how I got tricked into getting these...again...and in the last few days one of our neighbors gave us another 12 chicks because they didn't want them. Ughh...So we have 22 more chicks and we've got a hen hatching out a clutch as we speak. Yep that's a lot.

And our full grown chickens...we had to build a cage for that CRAZY rooster after he attacked our little Aila. And the duck (Dudley) has stepped in as the dominant Male around the yard.

And this was after 3 days of nothing to eat after a bout with the stomach flu...both of them.

Yes...that is a lot of eggs. Why do they all choose the same nesting box anyway?
