I cannot believe that tomorrow is the last day of February!!!! I've been trying to get the grapevines pruned before warm weather hit, but didn't quite make it. Bobby had some young men come and plow up my garden area and move all the grape vines I had pruned this past Saturday while I was working, and I think I disappointed him a little by promptly going out when I got home and finishing off the grape vines, without hauling my clippings to the special place in the woods (he had the boys leave a path because I told him I might be needing the vines). The vines now look naked. I'm starting to seriously doubt that I'll work on the posts and wiring this year.
And my current project:
|
Little Dog felt the need to cover the smell of the new wood. |
|
The old pen to the little chicken house. |
|
Side one halfway finished beside the old part of side two. |
Today I hope to finish the base of the pen, if not the whole thing, then start on gutting the small house tomorrow. The basic framework of the house is still good, so I just need to recover it, repair the nesting boxes, then cut, paint, and reassemble the new parts. We hope to buy biddies next Monday, and I have a quilt class most of the day Friday. Realistically though, I do have an extra week as the biddies will be fine in the brooder box the first week at least. I usually move them out into the small house between weeks 2-3. I don't want to put anything off though since election stuff starts next week. (We won't talk about all the other projects I had hoped to have completed by tomorrow!)
