A Busy Couple of Days

I'm way behind in reading friend's blogs and twitter conversations, and my personal hygiene ain't too great either (ahem), but a boatload of stuff has been accomplished around the property:

  1. Hops, passionfruit, gojis, and additional herbs have been planted.
  2. Peppermint, aloe, and bay laurel trees have been potted.
  3. Front garden-bed rock "outline" has been re-established.
  4. A third of the front-yard "pasture" has been reseeded - another third tomorrow.
  5. Broody Goose has been booted from the laying kennel - she was getting way too skinny and unkempt - and the opening blocked. No worries, there's other kennels, just blocked her favorite.
  6. Rigged the chicken coop so the other goose can't lay in it (and thus keeping the chickens out).
  7. Cleaned up the property from the last wind storm.
  8. And last, but not least: moved the week-old chicks from the starter kennel into bigger digs. Good word, we're gonna have to build a bigger coop just to house them in a few weeks!

  2. @meb - glad you're enjoying the blog! I use a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28. Someday I'll read the owners manual and learn to use all the cool options, but for now I love the point-and-click ease of use.
