It's a foggy mountain morning with a brisk wind from the southeast. Either it was raining this morning or the fog was oversaturated because everything is dripping. There aren't any ducks or geese in the pond yet and everything is quiet outside, awake but quiet. Today holds new and exciting plans just as everyday does.
The rabbits are more giant than I had ever expected and growing by the day. The girls are about old enough to breed but with no buck (male rabbit), I'm not going to accomplish any of that. I do have a buck on hold in Needmore Pa and am very excited about it. Now I just need an occasion to make the trip.
Our garden is coming along well, not caring one bit that there is no place to put it outside yet. A neighbor told me the other day that we are guaranteed to have frost in May. I suppose that means that we will have to make cold frames first instead of last.
We have our compost bin up and have been filling it rather quickly. I couldn't have put it together without my dear husband. I never could have guessed that nailing together some pallets would be so difficult. He fixed it quite well with the screw gun.
I've been thinking alot about chickens and am getting impatient with myself about the entire thing. I have to hold myself back almost everyday in ordering hatching eggs because we don't have a house build for them yet and none in the works. I have been slightly appeased by the daily crows of the neighbors roosters but those lovely sounds don't put eggs on my table.
We are so close to our goals of independence and yet we have to be content in not being there yet. We thank God everyday for all that He has given to us, these great and abundant provisions.
I wish everyone a wonderful and prosperous morning,
Mother Dean
