Spring Sprang Sprung


Spring is coming along nicely at the farm.  Things are greening up; I love the chartreuse.


Little Red is about to fly up on my shoulder.  She likes me, but really just wants me to feed her. The way she looks into my glasses always makes me think she wants to peck that little black dot out of my eye.  She must see her reflection or she really does want to peck that speck out of my eye.  Baby chicks do that.


Babies are hatching around here.  I did buy some new baby Turkens and Auracanas, but hens are sneaky and hide eggs that later hatch.  At least Mom can take care of them instead of me.  The turkeys are laying.  I almost hope they don't hatch.  Two are more than enough. 






Gracie wonders what in the heck I'm doing, but really just wants an apple or a carrot. 


It is time to trim all the avian boxwoods.  There is so much to do I really don't know where to start, but it's SPRING!

Farm Kings


I have a new favorite show called FARM KINGS.  I just discovered it last week on the GAC channel. It just makes me smile. You can see their 2012 series re-runs and a new season started last Thursday.  

The King family consists of 9 boys, one girl, and an incredible mother.  This family is really something; their mantra is lead by example.  I love them, their work ethic and the love and respect they show one another. The family works seven days a week on their Freedom Farms and anyone who gardens and/or farms, knows how hard it is and that mother nature can make or break.  And, Dan, you're an angel.
