new background

So I started a blog. I'm a planner. I like to organize and prioritize. Sounds kind of weird for a gardener, but hey, its who I am. I like dirt. I like starting things from seeds and help them become the greatness that is veggie! I spent countless hours/days/weeks/months preparing for my garden adventure. I read. I read seed catalogs, old books of my mother's, other gardeners' blogs, random websites about gardening basics, and magazines. With that said, I will forever be a beginner gardener/farmer. So, again, I started a blog. I'm going to share my gardening ups and downs, what worked for me and, of course, my epic failures. I love to share tricks and knowledge and experiences with people that I've learned over time. So please, read my blog and come over to my garden, and mostly, enjoy!

FINALLY!

Nothing has twitterpated my heart like looking through the old antique window, through chicken wire, and into a chicken coop with my bustling little gals checking out their new digs. The first attempt at getting the girls moved into their new coop was a big FAIL! We didn't have the window in yet and I thought it would be fine since it felt so nice out. About 3:30 am a nasty storm rolled through which jolted me out of my slumber. In my pjs, I flew outside to find 3 of my 7 girls soaking wet, including Ziggy-138, my runt. I scooped them up, and with Hubby standing at the door for a hand-off, ran them inside back to their brooder. It was kind of comical because most of them were sleeping so soundly that they didn't really even wake up. I know they probably would have been fine, but I didn't want to take the chance. I love my girls. Last night we tried again. The girls settled down in a pile to go to sleep. I went out to check on them early this morning and they were stretching and scratching about--happy as can be. And, speaking of Happy, our pooch, he is doing quite well with them. I don't think they'll ever have an encounter that isn't separated by 4" and two layers of chicken wire, but he didn't bark all night and that's a good thing!
