The grass is covering the hills and valleys and the deer are grazing everywhere. We are getting our gardens in order for what we laughingly call the growing season. The chickens are enjoying the warm afternoon sun and taking dust baths. I've already turned on the irrigation system and started the spring watering cycle. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
