Had our first moisture since NewYear Day. Just enough to knock down the dust. There are tiny green grass sprouts at the soil level if you look hard.
The great lake below us is free of ice, which is unheard of. The geese are winging their way north again, and the baldies are hunting the lake.
I loaded up the trailer and went into town to get the 16 foot cattle panels and unloaded and put them away for sometime in the next week or so.
Garden work today was derailed by 50mph winds and temps dropping back to freezing, which is fine as arthritis in my wrists and hands is winning today, no contest.
8 year old hen was being mercilessly picked on by the 9 month old pullets to the point of them putting a hole in her. I built a large enclosure for her in the heated workshop, her new home. When I'm out, she's out, like a puppy, but never around the other birds. She's the ONLY one allowed in my garden. So she's an indoor bird now. She only ever sits around and watches the world go by any more anyway. The shop is heated when needed, and has huge doors open when the weather is nice. We're calling it the senior living facility.
