2010 Spring Projects



It's barely the end of March and Cade and I can't wait for warm days so we can just stay outside. We have come up with some projects to get us prepped for Spring's true arrival in a few weeks (we hope).

One of our projects is starting our vegetable garden from seed. They take a bit of babysitting in the beginning. Cade is excited to be "a farmer" and get to planting these bad boys. Here he is taking his plants for a ride around the house. He is a good farmer.

Another annual spring project is raising baby chicks. We get the day old chicks from a local feed store, trying to select breeds that are friendly, good egg layers, and tolerant of the heat of summer in the desert. We got 8 this year. They live in Cade's bathroom in half a dog crate until they get their big bird feathers and can move out to the "halfway house".
