A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE

With Spring officially un-officially here (via the arrival of chicks and plants,) Big John and I had big plans for the weekend. We were going to run gas lines, finish installing the paneling, paint and stain the walls, give the new garden a final tilling, and plant all those heirloom tomatoes and pickling cucumbers I've collected recently.

There was just one problem.


It rained. A lot. All weekend. Three inches worth.

But around here, that's a good problem to have! After a long year of very little rain, we're happy to have it. And we'll take any more that comes our way, along with the mosquitoes that can't be far behind, storing it up for July and August.

We were able to get the kitchen paneling painted.


And we got most of the rehab done on a bird pen we picked up at that same amazing estate sale - the one with the incubators and hatchers. I believe this will be the next move for the quail, in the next week or so.




They're getting so big so quickly that I think they'll appreciate some more space.

It's supposed to be warm (and humid) and drier this week, so hopefully next weekend we can get those tomatoes in the ground. Thank goodness for the rain!
