April Showers bring........Foxes

Fox den near the barn

Well,  Not a whole lot has been going on.  We traveled for spring break and have had some scouting events keeping us from any major projects.

Chris did get some of the finishing trim up for the bath and kitchen cabinets.  Mostly our efforts have been focused on your typical honey do list.  Fix that door, hang that picture, paint that room,  hang these curtains....you get the gist.

I am trying to get the garden ready for planting.  Most of the beds have been turned, composted and turned again.  I have loads of seedlings ready to go in the ground as soon as the danger of frost has passed.  It is hard to wait especially after we had such a mild spring last year.  I did get lettuce, onions and a new variety of rhubarb into the ground. 

We had some unfortunate circumstances with the chickens this week.  The boys and I caught a fox red-handed.  We came home to find him munching on one of our girls and a whole mess of every color feather you could think of.  All he did was eat the heads.  Eeeeewwww.  In total I think we have lost 5 chickens.  The flock is dwindling, which is OK because our coop was pretty full.  I think our egg customers will be the most disappointed.
