Day's End

It is day's end and I am ready to be abed.  At this time of year I feel like I'm a runner just taking the first paces of a race that is long but knowing that the reward at the end is so great.  So much to do - and yet a few months down the road the workload of this month will seem like child's play. 

I have a spot where I let all of the rabbit hay collect all winter long and now it is full of dark rich compost ready for the garden.  We started layering it in today.  I'm going tomorrow to fill the back end of my pickup truck with dirt that will be mixed in with aged chicken poop and rabbit hay and it will simply be lovely.  I also have the first sunburn of the season.  Today I have put raised beds together, garnered a new egg customer, taken care of chickens, chicks, rabbits, and teenagers. We finished the day off with homemade potato salad and bbq chicken.  Spring is here - tis a very good thing.

Random snipets of my day

Today has been a pretty good day.  No major hiccups over anything.  Just a slow, steady rhythm carrying us along.  I made a pork roast that turned out wonderful.  Cooked slow with oranges and orange juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.  I had the oranges laying on top of it during cooking.

 Here it is after I pulled it...

I wanted to take some pictures of the chicks now that they are growing and going through their awkward stage.  It was quite funny as the flash on the camera totally freaked them out.  The picture took at just the right instant to show this little guy in mid-startle.

How funny is that?  But with the next picture, they were wise to the ways of the camera.

My favorite lil easter egger...

Love those puffy cheeks!  But now tis tired of posing and decided to protest.

All are safely gathered in now for day's end.  Goodnight all ~~
