Looks like our horses are staying. So mornings continue with taking care of the horses and the ram first. Our guineas sound the alarm for everyone that I am coming !
Geese and hens are all running around see who will get the treats first. Our chickens are back laying eggs again and cluck happily in the yard. There are no longer any roosters to stress them out.
Summer wants to be feed first and give a low grumbling sound to say good morning while she paces back and forth.
I went over to check on the bees again. They have sure been busy. This board was empty yesterday.
More dead bees have been brought out. I cleared the landing and hope there will be enough bees to make a go of the hive this year.
Chores are done at home but we need to stop and see one of our farm friends for hay.
We all hop in the truck and go for a ride.
It's still a little chilly but not bitter cold. The snow will hang around for another day or so.
The stock of hay at Bud's farm is beginning to get low and much is already bought by a friend of ours who is raising goats.
But we get enough for us.
And head back home.
We stop for breakfast. *smile* Burritos for the ride home.
Dude will unload.
And I need to get one of our chickens soaking in salt water for dinner.
Good looking bird but for some reason this one has a few pin feathers I need to remove. It is cleaned and well rinsed.
Then out to the garden. Another salad needs to be made.
Yep, round two of a spinach salad... spinach, hard boiled egg and crisp bacon. I made a dressing of Dijon mustard, olive oil and garlic.
Simple and perfect.
Time to hit the road and the other half of my life. While I am in the city I will be thinking of the homestead.
peace
