I just came in from outside. It’s such a beautiful spring day! I heard the first Red-winged Blackbirds singing this morning and our pair of Canada Geese is on the beaver pond, checking out nesting spots. I’m sure we’ll see more snow, but today it’s perfect<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Our beaver ponds are nearly ice free and our pair of geese has returned to nest. Yea, Spring!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yesterday, I looked out and there’s Will, perched on top of our greenhouse, screwing in a few screws that somehow got missed when the roof was put on in a snowstorm. It was definitely not a safe method! Eek! I couldn’t look. But he got it done. The wind was trying to get under the roofing panels and that could have been bad if a sudden, severe windstorm had popped up. Now we have several flats of peppers, transplanted and safely inside the heated greenhouse. I’ll be doing more transplanting today, both peppers and tomatoes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
This is what I saw when I looked out the window! (Remember both Will and I fell off our barn roof a few years back.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Even though not safe, Will did get the roof panels screwed down tight then climbed down the ladder. Whew!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our chickens have started laying after taking the winter off. We don’t keep lights on in the chicken coop to keep them laying. We do miss the eggs, but our hens lay a lot longer than ones that are forced to lay year around. Some are five and six years old and still lay their egg a day, come spring, summer, and fall. They are outside, singing happily. It seems they are enjoying the day too. — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
