Well if the new ones I just got would start to lay, I'd say I would have some, but, I've seen some action but, no nest building!! So I'm waiting to see what happens, I'll keep you posted if you don't find some in the mean time!

SURE just rub it in. Well atleast it only sprinkled very lightly today. At least I was able to get the rest of the lawn hacked down. Gotta love that Riding mower DW bought me 3 years ago.

My riding mower is stuck in what remains of my lawn, sunk down about 6"

OMG!!!!!

Usually I can tolerate the rain here, but this year has just been terrible, and has me really depressed. So many plans, yet I can't to do anything until the yard dries out somewhat. It is not raining today, but it is so foggy that everything is dripping. Yesterday the temp got up to a whopping 57 in town, so cooler here. It is sooooo frustrating. My first plans are to use the snow shovels to scoop pathways through the mud to the chicken coop and from there to the dog cabin (12' x 10' heated garden shed with 500 SF fenced run). I'm going to line the walkways with weed block and gravel them in. I'm trying to figure out how to make terraced gravel steps. We have a short but steep slope in front of the chicken coop. In the winter, we all slipped numerous times on the ice that built up there. I had removed all the insulation from the mouse infested garden shed last fall, and installed a dog door, radiant heat panel and run to use it as an area to keep the dogs so they can warn me when the bears come (the dog area is between the chickens and the orchard). We put stepping stone paths from the house to the coop and from there to the dog cabin, but they have all sunk under the mud

, so the dogs have been living in our house and tracking mud everywhere. Even if if were no mud, the dogs could not use their place. For the first time in 8 years, the puddles in my yard got so huge that the floor boards of the garden shed soaked it up and all the linoleum tiles popped off. I've got tons of mud control to do this summer if the weather should ever clear up so that taking care of our animals won't be a miserable slog through the mud next year.
