The daily farm ..
Spring trimming!
(What can I say, it was rather spring-like outside today, one can hope!)
We both worked outside this afternoon trimming, pruning, cleaning up lots of stuff near and around the plant beds near the garage. I took a full truckload to the dump with more to go and a goodly sized load of recyclables to go tomorrow.
Went down to the far barn to get feed for all the goats, we are supplementing alfalfa/orchard grass mix since there is not much worth eating in the pastures at this point in time. When in feeding the goats, what did I find, but, 6 eggs in 2 separate nests in the barn. Ugg! Come on girls this is why there are nesty boxes in the coop. Anyway, I would not have known of their existence if not for one of the buff's deciding to lay an ENORMOUS (goose sized) egg down there. it will not even come close to fitting in the carton.
Anyways, it was a good day, good to be out in the fresh air, good to be getting a head start on making the farm look decent not only for ourselves, but for the customers that will be coming to p/u their vegetables and eggs this year.
Ok! Back to the seed orders! (whip crack)
