It has been a busy last few weeks around here. The gardens are almost all planted, the grass has been mowed several times, and the hay field has been cut and spread out in the rows of the gardens. There has been a lot of cleaning up junk that seems to just accumulate from thin air. We have had our first batch of baby chicks, to be born here.  They are a Rhode Island Red/Production Red cross. I am curious to see if they are good layers, cause they sure are cute. I hope to be shutting down Claygirls greenhouse by the end of the month. Everything should be picked up or planted by then.  Everything else seems to be going good, no more sickness, or medical problems. The AP system is doing great. We will need to expand it before long, I'm sure.
