Spring has Sprung

Spring has sprung which has brought a rush of activity around the house. Not much time for play during the last few weeks. Beck and I have been working feverishly getting ready for garden production by building raised beds, moving 10 yards of soil across the yard to fill them, building a sizable green house, tilling existing garden beds, doubling the size of our chicken run to accommodate 13 new laying hens and moving the shed from the front yard to the back (which took 15 people to lift and carry 120 ft, a monumental accomplishment). For the lower 48 this may seem late for starting agricultural activities. For interior AK it's right on time. The deciduous trees are just now filling out with leaves and the first flowers of the season just started popping up days ago. The game plan is to finish all the busy work, get the garden started and chicks established then it's playtime for the rest of the summer. Ahhhh..... Play time in the summer.....coming soon.
