Humble Beginnings

Okay, things are definitely feeling real with this week of 70 degree weather getting us out bright and early every day. And with the sunshine came energy, excitement and a sense of urgency to get things done. The receipts are piling up quickly with many trips to the local lumber store, ace hardware, farm & garden supply, etc. etc. etc... But amazingly the costs have stayed low and we've completed a chicken coop and small greenhouse (and purchased two small greenhouses from Tractor Supply for wicked cheap), picked up our pullets, and started about 20 trays of seeds. It seems like every day we add more to our to-do list but it's still satisfying to be crossing things off.

We also spent today scoping out potential ramp and fiddlehead harvesting secret spots, and a few days ago broadcasted some alfalfa into our pasture for our incoming rabbit friends. Unfortunately this weather is dipping back down but now that we've gotten things rolling, there's no stopping us!
