Spring Plans

[baronrenfrew]

Nothing to do when you are sitting by the woodstove but dream of spring. Then the boss pipes up "I'm in a new church, I need chicks for Easter!"

What?! I don't want chicks that early! Easter is April 1st? Valentine's day is ash Wednesday?

I have enough lined up next year (d'oh! This year!), and it will include less chickens! (Hmmm...I've said that before...)

Gotta fix (replace?) the roof and septic, plant trees, build fences, expand the garden, build a new coop, build chicken tractors, extend the forest road across two creeks (build bridges or culvert?), and I need a real tractor shed (and a garage would be helpful). Better woodshed, fix basement door, house windows etc. Etc. Etc.

Bert if you need chicks for Easter, just to be on the safe side, you should do a test hatch first, to check fertility and make sure incubator is working properly!!!! So Bert will be hatching in March!!!! Can't wait to see photos of fuzzy butts in March.

Enjoy the rest of winter as it looks like you will be really busy, spring, summer and fall. lol

Maybe it's just an April 1st joke?

Sounds like a 2 - 5 year plan in the making.

spring plans? i'm still trying to get ready for winter!!!!

Same here - I'm just trying to get everyone through the winter relatively unscathed at this point.
I may give some thought to spring plans on Thursday when the temperature is supposed to go up to 5!
It'll be raining, but I'll be happy with the brief respite from frigid.

Frank has spring plans. First time I let them out of their coops he very seriously walked around them all checking out his ladies. Then he went for a conjugal visit with Little Missie and Splash who were only too happy to oblige. So maybe spring is really on the way??? Pretty pleez?

"Conjugal visit"

So that makes you the warden?

That's like the soup Carla made on Sunday. Supposed to be turkey and rice...too much rice. Almost had to spoon it out of the ladle.

"Gee thanks warden!"
