I Think Spring Is Here In The PacNW!

The Cascade hops....

I think Spring has arrived.....finally!  Today the rain and clouds broke just long enough to get some yard chores done.  With Marie away I get bored real quick and need to find something to do.  Since the motorcycle is a stand still because my parts aren't here I decided to trim the grass, turn over the garden and compost, weed some flower beds, re-pot some plants, and feed the chickens some delicious worms.  I keep plastic over my hop boxes for a little warmth in the winter months.  Today I decided to peel it back and take a peek.....I was happy to see some green growth.  I can't wait to watch these babies reach for the sky.

Here is a look at our bare backyard.  Hopefully in a few short months it will be lush with flowers and vegetables.

I hope to add the plastic over the hoop garden when I get back from St. Louis.

I am making my own soil mixture from our kitchen compost.  Rich with worms.  It even has a hint of citrus from the fruit peels.

Marie makes carpet patterns with the vacuum and I make them with the lawnmower.

Eno has been sleeping here for 2 days!
