Babies, fences and garden work

The garden is progressing and major clean up has continued. Seedlings are in the greenhouse and we are ready for planting. We had a freeze last week so we are waiting until we have hot two weeks from that freeze to plant. 

We have babies in the bunny hutch. Haven't counted the litter because she has them tucked into a corner but there are several. 

Fencing in an acre and a half with privacy fence is not easy or inexpensive but after a lot of effort it's coming together. 

This crazy guy supervises:

The chicks are almost 5 weeks old and feathered up nicely. They are ready to be put in with the other hens as soon as we secure the chicken yard. Out hens free range but we limit their space when we have new arrivals for a few weeks. 

We've done some turkey hunting, fished and went to a market fair at the state park depicting life in the 18th century. The boys learned to crack corn and had a good time. 

Gabe is interested in learning blacksmithing so we've been collecting the necessities and planning a forge for the backyard.
