I love the goats and the cute little chickies

A taste of spring. Is this last one a shrike?? No birds like this one around here.We have not been having too bad a winter this year so I am getting cabin fever really bad because the weather is fairly warm for Utah for March. I went out today to take some photos and the nearby canyons are all still closed for winter.Not fair. Just went to a couple small ponds instead.
They may not be chickens but at least they are birds
We had a busy day here.
BF built me a new chicken table (does double duty as a poo board and a feeder holder/protector). Our big turkeys caused too much stress on our old table and it started falling over.
I enjoy seeing how clean it is - although you can see it is sitting at the exact height the old table was due to the fecal spray on the walls.
Maybe this summer we'll take down the inner plywood and replace it.
And I didn't finish my quilt top, but I came close. You'll have to imagine the top and bottom borders.
I figured out what backing and binding I want, so hopefully that will arrive this week and I can work on finishing the top and bottom strips and then get it basted. I might take it to my sewing teachers shop next weekend and try to quilt it using her long arm versus trying to free motion stipple something this big on my home machine. The colors are supposed to be the sea, the designs are starfish and seaweed, the khaki represents sand. My friend lives on the beach and just got married on a beach yesterday.

I had a thoroughly enjoyable day. I really don't mean to be rubbing it in that we are having lovely weather, if it's any consolation, it is going down to the 20's tomorrow night.
Today, I worked a couple of flower beds, digging the spring weeds in and turning the soil to about 15". Then DH brought a (tractor) bucket load of compost and added it to the turned beds. I mixed it in well and raked it smooth. Those two are ready for planting! Next, I edged the sidewalk by the back door, as it is the one we use all the time. Finally, I moved three large granite boulders (about the size of a grill's propane tank) into the bed right next to the back door and then filled in around them with smaller river rocks. It looks pretty and will look even better when I get some type of plants growing around and over them.
I am tired and sore from digging, and lifting rocks, and sweeping the drive, and bending, and raking, and boy, am I going to enjoy my hot shower as soon as the water warms back up.
It was a good day.
ETA: size of the rocks

We have had Robins all winter all around here. Unheard of. But they stuck around, not sure how they lived through the cold spell.
