The first day of Spring! Spring always brings with it mixed emotions for me. On the one hand we've made it through another long winter of little light and loads of wood for the woodstove. On the other hand it's time for spring planning, planting and projects. We usually get wrapped up in the garden and find little time for the other outdoor projects that need doing. I proposed the idea of skipping the garden this year. Of course I don't really mean that...in fact I want to expand the garden! This year we need a new roof and to paint the house. How are we going to fit it in? Other things we'd like to do is put a room on the office for a sawdust toilet, build a pantry, create a root cellar, close in the stage space and clean up. Each year brings more things we want to finish and it seems that time moves faster. I know that time is relative and how I perceive it is all a matter of my state of mind. This year it feels like our plates are already full. So, while I'm excited that spring is here I am also somewhat apprehensive about it....and then there is the idea of having chickens again.
