Spring is coming.  It feels like it's been coming all winter!  What a mild Ohio winter. The "pro" to that is that I only shoveled the drive one time, and only half of the drive at that.  The "con" to that is the mosquitoes are going to be unbearable this summer.  It didn't get cold enough and stay cold enough to kill anything off.

Current farm status:  Dan has 10 calves right now and I think all 10 are sold already.  We will be getting another 9, I think, so we still have more available to our customers.   I have 9 layers now and still have Higgie-Baby the rooster.  I would like to get another dozen layer chicks end of May so I can get back into selling eggs.  There is nothing like a farm fresh egg to get a small taste of nature. 

I hiked the pastures this morning.  It was great!  The sun is out and the birds are all chirping and calling to one another.  Or calling me to refill the bird feeder, maybe.

My sis and I ordered seeds with some of her friends from Bountiful Harvest and Seed Savers Exchange.  Open pollinated, heirloom, non-gmo seeds.  She said last night that some of them came already and I can't wait to get a hold of them.  The planning is fun. I've got to figure out when I want the plants to be ready for harvest, then back trac the growing time and figure out the planting plan. The growing times are all different, but for pasta sauce I want the tomatoes, green peppers, and onions finishing at the same time.....SO much fun!~
