The snowdrops have bloomed and gone, the daffodils are blooming, and leaves and buds seem to have sprung up on everything over night. And I guess it is time to make up a batch of hummingbird food. Our first hummingbird put in an appearance today - following Josh around the yard and watching him through the shop windows as he worked on the coop for our new Coturnix Quail chicks.
Yep - Quail, our newest endeavor. We picked up ten of the adorable little birds two weeks ago. It is fun watching them grow - and they are growing fast! Josh is very enthusiastic about the possibilities of quail. He is even growing meal worms so they will have more options for food - hopefully by fall (meal worms have a rather long life cycle apparently).
I have also come to the conclusion that I need to take a slightly different tack with my blog - growing things can be such a slow business, and I often have other things on my mind, so I'm expanding to include topics that aren't necessarily about farm life or growing things. Not today, but next time I have something to get off my chest or expound from my soap box, I will. Be warned. :)
