Rain, Rain go away, come again another day! Preferably in July or August! Oh, well, such is Spring in Missouri. Hopefully we won't get any of the snow they are calling for.

We had to pull the cover back on the strawberries last night. That is such a miserable job when the row cover is wet! But there were four of us this time so that makes it go a lot better!

We have finally finished cleaning all the chicken houses, and put out new bedding, repaired and expanded the chicken yards, and got new gates made! The pullets are really starting to lay. We are getting around 80-90 eggs a day from them! We got two more loads of manure from William Woods yesterday. So what with cleaning out all the chicken houses and the horse manure we've been getting, our compost pile is coming along nicely. Next fall we should have a good supply to spread around on everything!

We've really enjoyed having Lucas and his friend Joe home for Spring Break. It's amazing the things you can get done with a couple of extra hands. Hopefully we didn't work Joe too hard and he'll still want to come spend the summer! He says he does!
