Spring is just around the corner. Love this time of year. We had a long rainy winter and it is good to see the sun again.

I can see the smile on my Black Welsh faces when the sun comes out.

We finally butchered our old layers. They stopped laying and the time had come. But I now have a freezer full of stewing hens. They make a very tasty soup and I even made a delicious Chicken Cacciatore in the slow cooker. Our young layers are up to 3 dozen a day now, so that keeps our customers happy.

We are looking forward to spring to start tiling and planting again. We have to replace a few fruit trees because of the terrible winter we had in 2016-17. We were hoping they would thrive through the summer but just too damaged from the snowy cold winter.
