Chicks, Seedlings and More Snow!

Looking out the window today while the snow comes tumbling down once again, it's hard to believe Spring is ever going to show up. Ever.The backyard chickens have been less than thrilled.Bean, our Deleware, looking out over the snow, less than happyIn the meantime, I'm trying hard to be delusional and carry on as if Spring is right around the corner. My seedlings are getting seriously out of control. I may have to order another grow light and give up my fabric cutting table in the craft/grow room. The tomatoes alone are taking over. I may have to consider giving away some of my lovely little plants or my little backyard farm is going to be mental.The tomato seedlings alone are taking overAnd the best part about faking Spring? Adorable baby chicks! We recently scooped up six new little beauties.This little buff Frizzle Cochin is almost 4 weeks. Looks like a pullet to meRIRsex link

We're hoping for some miracle of nature to give us all girls here. In the meantime I'm trying my hardest not too get to attached. In the next week we'll be adding some Black Copper Marans chicks if all things go according to plan. Can't wait!

And so I'll continue to defy the snow as long as I can and take heart from the pseudo Spring I'm creating for myself.
