I wrote this at the end of March (I'm putting March 29th as the date.. .I don't know exactly when I wrote it):
Ugh, it's been nearly a month since I posted anything. What's been going on? Well first, Collin received his garden seeds. He's tilled what he says is about 20% of the garden. He has to till it with a garden fork, so this is a pretty big deal, for him to have that much done already. He's planted kohlrabi, oak leaf lettuce and red sails lettuce - he keeps calling it "red snails lettuce." I don't know if he's doing it on accident or not.
We've butchered ALL of the rest of our chickens on the 16th and 17th. Toward the end, they were sleeping on the porch and still getting snatched by some kind of brave predator at a rate of one every other night. Pawpaw the Heeler was at his wits' end, and he would frequently go screaming at the top of his lungs through the house at night, thinking he'd heard something outside that he had to chase away. He seemed a little sad for a few days after all the rest of the chickens were butchered. He sat on the sidewalk a lot, looking around for something to do.
