Manure is in the air

Spring has sprung! The manure is being spread on the farm fields all around us.  The birds are chirping. The frogs are croaking. The little one is playing soccer and the big one is hitting baseballs. Farmer J is planting prairie plants in our front yard and I hear his "Weed Dragon" torching non-native plants and weeds, on and off throughout the day. Our first batch of chickens and our bees arrive this week. The pigs come in the beginning of May, just in time for Farmer J and my 20 year anniversary of being together! Nothing says, "I love you" like getting pigs and electric fencing!  

This weekend, with all the beautiful, sunny, warm weather...we did some brush burning, prairie planting, started mucking out the chicken coop, started prep work on the pig pasture, collected eggs, moved the chickens to the new chicken area (where they can't escape and poop all over our driveway and garage) and threw in a few baseball and basketball games! 

And while we did all this, the cats slept and our turkey, Norman/Norma chirped and followed us around!
