April
Spring is showing up in the Rockies. Fruit trees are blooming and the earth is greening up. Time to tackle weeds and repair fences damaged by the deer over winter. The horses are shedding and we expect 3 foals shortly.
I am going to sprout vegetables indoors and hope I can get a good crop of greens. I love a facebook.com page called 'growfoodnotlawns'. It has hundreds of pics and ideas. Wish we could try a bunch of them. So much to do....so little time....as is the case for all of us.
Stetson had to have one eye removed so he is now our pirate. Not with a patch but a sewn up hole. Poor guy. He is our toughest ever dog. The smallest and toughest. He is getting old but endures physical problems without a single complaint.
The feral cat colony continues to grow despite our best efforts to get them caught and to the vet. We have caught up all the males and the youngest kitties but we have a very pregnant mom and have tried for a year to catch her. She comes up and into a crate to eat but as soon as we try to close the door on the crate she bolts out. Now we will be trying to catch a new litter of kitties to get fixed. Our expensive invaders are winning the population battle.
Even after picking up misc nails and screws for 25 years around the front and side of the house we still have tons. I borrowed Melissa's rolling magnet and look what I got in just a few walk arounds. We have collected several buckets over the years.
