Spring has sprung here in Maine, a little earlier, a little warmer and a lot drier than normal. Here on the mini-farm there is a lot happening. Greg added some dirt and some weed block to the garden. The asparagus bed is finished and the rest of the garden is ready to be planted.
The ducklings and chicks that we ordered have arrived and will soon be ready to be on tick and slug patrol. For now, they are happily peeping under the heat lamp and driving Gauge absolutely wild! (pics to follow)
I had to build a second chicken coop to accommodate all of the fowl. The ducks are moving into the small house attached to the garden and chickens will now live on the other side of the goat shed. Herbie and Fergus were extremely interested, but not overly helpful, in the construction of the new coop.
Last weekend, we competed in our first triathlon of the season at the University of New England. The race was very well run, the weather was fabulous and Greg was thrilled that it was a short pool swim. To top it off, we stayed with Sarah and Jason and got a chance to visit with my mom and play with Ella while we were there. They even came to cheer us on at the race. Thanks guys!
Yay, a new post! Watching your race last weekend was fun. And I can't wait to see the pictures of the chicks and the ducklings, or to meet them in person. =) Hope you are having a great weekend.
