Spring.....maybe....

It seems that another month has gone by without me updating this blog. It's not that I haven't thought about adding anything. I just seem to get distracted....often. I switched up the colors a bit and am adding a couple of pictures.

We recently added some additional chickens and roosters so we should have plenty of eggs for sharing and plenty of early morning noise to help wake up the neighbors. One of the roosters is an Egyptian Faroumis which is part of the banty family and he is nothing but attitude. I have one hen who seems to take exception to his advances and routinely chases him off to other parts of the yard. That's also the same hen who will scare the cats away from their food bowl and help herself to what she deems her fair share of the Cat Chow. She likes to sit on the mat at the front door and refuse to move until I show up with something interesting to peck at. If I don't hurry up, she pecks at the front door. Who's really running the show here???

Our little girl is starting to take some steps. Everyone is very excited, including the boys. We didn't think this would happen for a while so we all clap and cheer whenever she lets go of the furniture. She's also talking and signing more and can definitely tell us when things are not going her way.

The cabin is getting closer to being finished. We're still getting some snow up there and even had a freak snow squall here in the valley last night. I think everyone is ready for Winter to end. We've planted a few pansies and have some other cold-tolerant vegies and strawberries to get in the ground. It's time to get the seeds potted and started in the greenhouse and start planning what to do with the garden. Yeah!
