Growing things!

The garden is started...very tiny plants are coming up! Arugula, my favorite salad green will be ready to toss with a honey-vinaigrette along with some sliced strawberries in just a couple of weeks! Tasty...

And the chickens! Back to full laying again, they insist on having their favorite nest box-even if it means waiting their turn. Sometimes they stand around complaining loudly until the first hen gets off the nest, crowding each other and angrily pecking the head of the laying chicken. You'd think they'd go to the next empty place, but it doesn't seem to work that way...

The apple blossoms are coming on so many at a time that the bees are busy from morning to night...looking forward to seeing what kind of crop we get this year!
