Inside again, under the thumb of 1 lone chick. @pasdechat73 I though it was because my guy was solo... but apparently not lol. Hows your 6 chix and your serenity? Too cute and too fun. Will miss his dependence when he is all growd up and ignoring me.View attachment 2055178
Grateful he grew some feathers and does not need my warmth as much, I still don't have a brooder set up. He is practically a house cat- eats, under foot and sitting on my lap.

I love him, TropicalBabies! Is he a silkie? My eyesight ain't so grand

My little ones are doing well! Here they are running around after I cleaned out the nursery:

And no gardening for me today as we got snow and rain, and its getting nasty again outside, so I reckon we'll see more tomorrow. At least my cold weather plants are doing well! I have lettuce, kale, celery, mint and parsley growing out of the ying yang!

So here are some of the elders. I let them out after the snow melted (around 3 pm PST). They were mad at my hubby because he was in a skype meeting so no coming in the house!!

I think Rosie laid an egg in one of our resident feral hens nest. Because that is how she rolls and this chick does not look like the speckled hen or any of the other of speckled hens brood by far. Gus and Rose are the only grey's in town.
Rosie did get it together and is currently sitting on her own hidden clutch of eggs. I guess I will find out in 19 days if my theory is correct.

You guys see it right?

totally. I mean Rosie doesn't have a head. The chick doesn't have a head. Perfect family resemblance.

LOL.

Zero visibility fog again. Thunderstorms on the doorstep. Heading out in the dark to do livestock to avoid the rain. Hoping I don't surprise any skunks. Hoping weather breaks long enough today that I can check on the bees.

Neighbor lost a hive last week. She forgot to check them. The feeder had frozen and they starved to death.

We saw some moderately heavy rain last night according to some puddles in my back yard and puddles on the road during the drive to work. Didn't hear much of it though overnight but it did start about 930pm.

Good morning gardeners. Happy first day of Spring. Running a little late today. This morning was greeted by sticky wet snow that knocked out my satellite internet. It warmed up to 35F so enough has melted off the dish. LOL! I made a little progress on my new garden bed yesterday. I put down the cardboard liner and hauled 15 buckets (approx. 15 cubic feet) of dirt into it. It's a little wet, so it is definitely heavy. I have more seedlings coming up. All of the tomato cells except for one is coming up so I moved them out from under the plastic dome. There's my conehead cabbage, endive and romaine lettuce sprouting as well as the zucchini & crookneck squash. The tarragon is sprouting, but none of the others are up yet. On a side note, my African violet is blooming again. I really, really need to divide and re-pot that poor thing. I won't be able to do much work out of doors for today and tomorrow, It's supposed to rain and wash this snow away, then warm up into the 60's tomorrow and more rain. I should be able to haul more dirt when the sun comes out this weekend. So I'm on week 2 of my "stay at home" isolation. It's been nearly a month since my last grocery store shopping. There are a few things that I will definitely need within the next week: yogurt, I'm so craving pork, Kleenex and Town garbage bags. You have to buy the special bags for your household garbage or they won't collect it. Everything else I can buy online, these items necessitate a trip to the store. I wish I had saved the bubble wrap from my Amazon Prime deliveries. LOL! I checked the website of my local feed store and they're not 100 percent sure if they will be able to remain open. So I'm wondering if I need to get another bag of feed. Oh well. I'll figure that out. If at all possible, between rain showers, I'm hoping to at least cut the fence wire I am using to make the hoops for my cold frame bed. If I can get them cut they will be easy to secure and wrap the plastic sheeting to cover the bed. I could have fresh greens within a month's time. Yay! I'll take a picture when I get it set up. Hope you all are getting through this temporary insanity. Stay healthy and have a great day.

This is what the first day of Spring looks like in North Central Massachussets. At least it was at 6:30 this morning.
