Daffodils in the yard |
Finally I can say that Spring has arrived at Tilly’s Nest. I found two little daffodil bulbs that have pushed their way through the soil. I have also heard that the crocuses are in bloom along historic 6A. I can not wait to get to the coop and run and give them a thorough cleaning. I also cannot wait to spread the chicken compost on my flower beds this year. This is something that I am looking forward to, as this will be my first full year with the chickens. Today, I also candled all of the eggs. I could see baby chickens in all the eggs except for number 2. So we will hope for 8 chicks in about 10 days. Spring is such a wonderful time on Cape Cod. New beginnings and new signs of life are everywhere I turn. This is my favorite time of year.

Isn't it wonderful? I am so happy that spring is starting to get here. I can't wait to clean out the chicken coop either! It's driving me crazy. I'll also have to do the turkey coop and goat barn. I have a place I pile all the poopy litter and let it set a year so it doesn't burn the plants. I'll use last year's pile this year – heaven knows our clay laden soil could use it! Can't wait to see those baby peeps!
I couldn't agree more!
