What a nice change in the weather. Its starting to warm up some. I was just outside again, and the temp. is up to 40. I certainly welcome these warmer days. I am sure the chickens & turkeys are gonna enoy it. I just turned them out. The first time they been out in about a week.

Yesterday the Geese & Ducks took advantage of the places where the snow had already melted some. They were searching for bugs and the left over weeds they could find. They must be still eating quiet abit of weeds & such, because they rarely touch the grain that is out for them.

Even the goats is out enoying the areas where the snow has melted. Now the goats is much different than the poultry, they still love chowing down on their grain/corn mix.

As the day gets warmer, I am gonna be out there and get some more firewood sawed up, just in case we get hit with another long spell of cold. I will also let my fire burn down in the stove, and clean all the ashes out before building another nice warm fire.

I save my ashes and putting them in the flower garden areas, which I am gonna be planting vegetable plants this year. I will have tomato/sweet bell pepper/hot pepper plants along my fence & mobile home. Then that gives me more room in the actual garden for other things.

I have a medium sized back yard, and it will no longer be a yard. I am gonna have it to plant corn & sunflowers in. These will be used for feed for the poultry, once it matures. The corn stalks will be good fodder for the goats.
