Quick update...

We took today off from work and got started building our new shed (aka goat & chicken barn!!)
2 walls up ... lots more to do tomorrow! The floor, and making the whole thing level on our rocky hill, took most of the day!



I also worked on my new shady perennial garden.
The weather was beautiful: sunny and 70 degrees ... it's about time! Here's a pic from today of the seedlings, planted last month:

My sister is taking my daughter to a plant swap tomorrow. Here are some plants we dug up for her to bring: chives, lemon balm, strawberries, rose campion, batchelor button, daylily:

Happy Spring!

(flower photos by Tori)
It's time to start blogging about gardening again!
I can't wait to get my garden planted this year! I did start some seeds indoors last month, cucumbers, summer squash and mini-pumpkins, along with a few bean seeds, back when we were trying our hand at making Maple Syrup!


We have been busy working on building and preparing a new shade perennial garden and also on preparing to welcome new animals to our home/garden! Since the last time I posted we welcomed 2 rabbits to our familiy, Merlin (an American Chinchilla buck) and Ace (a black Velveteen Lop buck).

This spring we are looking forward to the arrival of our 6 baby chicks and 2 Nigerian Dwarf goat kids! Lots of updates and pictures coming soon!!
Here's a picture of Tori holding "Angus" and here is "Malcolm" where they currently reside at The Sisters Three Farm. We hope to be bringing them home at the end of May or early June!
