The Old Folks Home

Makes me SOOOOOOOO glad I'm not living in upstate New York :wee.......sorry.

DH and I went for a walk back in the woods. The spring peepers are singing their brains out down at the creek but not a sound from the red winged blackbirds yet.

No big plans for the weekend. I did manage to get two wall panels cut for my rooster coop/tractor/transformation. Will get pictures for you tomorrow @CapricornFarm. Your coop building bug has bit me. That and I have to get those 4 boys in their own coop/pen at night. The alpha rooster is chasing them into the nesting box. I actually caught my Welsummer rooster sitting on two eggs. Dumb bird. They have been stomping around and breaking eggs so I was grateful for his consideration.

Walked the yard and found places where I can plant pumpkins and squash without too much trouble. Made plans to plant tomato plants and order some 'deck' corn from Burpees that grows in containers.

Need to work out my strawberry plants for spring. May be a challenge but hopefully doable.

Today has been a good day pain wise. What's that old saying? I feel so much better since I've given up hope or is it high expectations? Hmmm, anyway, plans are to finish up the rooster coop and figure out how to get it in the run. Work on the runs, turn eggs, feed the chicks and start taming them down. Mealworms....I need mealworms.....
 
Mealworms....I need mealworms.....
I went to a small 'everything' store last week, 'Sweet Meadows' it was called. Heard they had homebrewing supplies and I needed yeast for hard cider. And they have about everything, attached greenhouse (nothing in it yet) big greenhouse out back with a woodstove going in it. They had a aisle for chicken needs, feed, supplies. I didn't look to see how much they were but they had clear bag 50lb sacks of mealworms wow!
 
Place was a little out of our way, but we'll probably stop there some more, I like helping out the independent businesses. And they had good prices on what I did look at, friendly people also, gave me their business card and said if there was anything I didn't see that I thought they should get/carry to let them know.

I hope they make it as a business!
 
Reading the newspaper and tv guide, got a little chuckle out of this, reminded me of some recent posts here lol
