Springing into Spring!

Finally, we were able to enjoy a warm Spring day. Took in a local farm estate sale. It was the first day people could think about spending some time extended time outside. Amish and English were in full number to canvas the old homestead of a friend.





After the auction, it was a trip down the Ohio River, before heading home.




The garden was tilled, to get ready for some seed planting! The chickens loved getting into the freshly exposed ground, full of earthworms and other chicken delights. The pastures are starting to dry out. Slowly the muddy mess will go away and the green grass will overcome.

Last weekend I had a hand of hauling round bales. It was fun!







One of the hens with the Golden Pheasant, has started to lay some eggs! It was a surprised to discover these four this morning. They are smaller in size in comparison to the chicken eggs. I'll be watching these closely. Hopefully there will be more eggs laid and then one of the hens will sit.
