Spring Projects
It's already May and not much has been done. We are about 75% done with the fence. We sill need to run two more 100' lengths of fence and put up a gate but rest of the fence will be put on T stakes. We put the first 200' on pressure treated posts that are between our neighbors and the front of the house. The rest faces the wilderness and is on a slope so we didn't want to sink 4" x 4" posts in concrete for those length.
This is the gate we are planning to install. It's just the frame and hardware that will allow us to be creative on the face of it.
The chickens are nearly moved, I still have to move some cross fencing before that can happen but maybe this weekend. I love T-stake fencing. It's so easy to move around when you need to. They will be happy to get to some new space as I see them with their head through the fence all the time eating on the other side, which is apparently always greener.
We got some major cleaning done in the garage and you can even park one car in there. This is a big day for us as we have never been able to park in any garage we have had. The dream is to be able to park two cars in there one day.
Meanwhile, the landscape and wild life continue to delight me.
This is the first time we have had Evening Grosbeaks here. There were about 50 of them in the trees, taking turns at the sunflower seeds.
The Goldfinches returned the same day.
They were about two weeks later than last year, guess they got the snow report and postponed their trip.
This Bald Eagle was hanging around Saturday morning. His (or her, hard to tell) head is not 100% white so I am thinking he is about three.
The hummers are enjoying the feeders and the new fuchsia that I got from my friend Denise, she has a new website about to launch called Garden Girl
It's a nice addition to the deck. As soon as we have a few dry days in a row we will pressure wash the deck and deck roof and get a coat of sealer on it. It's raning again today though so I guess it's a good day for inside projects.
