Everything begins now

The bed with the kale, brussels sprouts, chard, and butterhead lettuce. The little colorful blobs are really cute ceramic mushrooms that my friend/co-worker/employee Jenny got me for my birthday. Something's eating the spinach so I put slug bait out and hopefully that will end the holes in the leaves.
That's the chicken coop/run. It's actually a rehabbed rabbit hutch inside a run. The girls free-range whenever we can supervise them. Our big orange kitty thinks they are loads of fun, and the small black cat thinks that he should be allowed to live in the coop. I'll find a pic of that later.

The "girls". One may be a rooster. We've heard some crowing but they're still a bit young to tell which one is the culprit. They are named Skeletor, Buffy, Donna, Lil' Puff, and Grandma.

Many, many changes here at the K/F/C household. My mother is semi-retiring to Southeast Oregon and I'm taking over the bakery. My man is (officially) moving in next week. I'm starting cucumber, tomato, melon, and squash seeds indoors (waaaay too late but I'm looking at it as an experiment) and they're already popping up! I turned 35 on Monday and I have to say it was the best birthday EVER. Life is great. Just keeps getting better and better.
Except for puberty. I'm about ready to send them both to boarding school until this is all over.
