make and grow:

It took me a while to get going today. Once I did I was glad. It wasn't a record setting day as far as the weather was concerned but I got outside regardless. I've figured out a new walk - it's 1/2 in the woods and 1/2 on the road.  Perfect. These crocuses are right at our front door. A sure sign that the seasons are changing.

I ordered 150 tulips for the anniversary party. This miniature rose plant wanted to come home with me today. I couldn't resist - just $2.99. The pot itself is worth that. I'll plant it outside after it blooms. Since it wasn't raining I decided to re-plant a few indoor houseplants. Two plants turned into five just like that.

One week until baby chicks arrive. Here is the remodeled coop.  I know it doesn't look so pretty right now but it will once I get some plants established around it. The outside coop is doubled both in length and height. It could easily be a dog run but we would never do that. We are planning on 12 chickens this time around.  Tori wants a wide assortment. She accidently locked herself in the coop today.  Lucky for her, I was outside. However, I could totally see that happening to me too. Pretty sure hubbie will have to install an inside latch just in case.
