With Spring well under way, Mark has been a rare sight around here. He has been working 12-14 hour days, 6 days a week helping farmers get going for the year. So today after church and the fellowship dinner we came home and…took a nap 😉 a short but much needed nap! After that though Mark and the kids went and picked up 9 more Rhode Island Red yearling hens from a friends house that had more hens then they needed. The boys were very excited to be adding more birds to their flock and have been making labels all evening in anticipation of all the eggs they will be getting. We also got our first green eggs from our Araucana hens we picked up last September, they’re aways so pretty!

Black Licorice is growing so nicely!
Jason also came over for supper and we spent some time chatting. We’re just winding down here for the night, kids getting ready for bed and Sawyer and I will do a final barn check at about 12:30 tonight. We’re looking forward to being able to go to bed like normal people again and are literally counting sheep until that happens!
