Today looks to be a beautiful day. The sun is shining and the birds are all singing there sweet song. A cold front is forecasted to arrive later today, with chances of snow( which we could use the moisture). I'm heading outdoors to hand bedding on the line, cleaning up dog piles and simply enjoy the sunshine as long as it's here!

Spring is on my mind, as I have a severe case of Spring fever, LOL! The best part of Spring is all the baby animals. We hope again this year that we'll see a few babies here on the farm. We have several hens that set and raise chicks each year, as well as hen turkeys that set several nests over the months of Spring and Summer. Right now we have 12 turkeys( 4 toms and 5 hens are babies hatched last summer) The chickens and turkeys are Cortney's project and she is currently working on a "For Sale" sign to sell turkeys, alive, as well as butchered. Cortney also sells eggs from her chickens. It is in our plan to get involved in a few of our local Farmer's markets, selling produce as well as made from scratch breads, cookies and even jams and jellies. Cortney will probably advertise; All Natural, Free Range eggs as well as turkeys, when available.

By months end we'll be starting our seeds for this seasons garden, this will help we deal with Spring fever, especially when they all begin sprouting. The pots are all sanitized, and I've begun mixing our soil mixture, although my compost is still frozen. Then we'll need to rearrange in the living room a bit to make room by the bay windows for our indoor greenhouse.

Well..... it's almost chore time and the girls( cows) are I'm sure waiting to be let out onto pasture. May your day be blessed and productive.
