A little rain won't hurt

Well, we got the garden tilled this weekend. We were going to plant on Monday, but heard the weather would not be too great the following days. It was raining chickens and sheep out there today, and we needed the rain pretty badly.

We are supposed to receive 2-4 inches of rain before the storm is over, and that should get things nice and sloppy for planting the next few days. I would like to plant tomorrow, but we will have to see how the soil looks in the morning. If we can't plant, I have some fencing to do, along with a brooder to get ready for chicks coming Friday.

Friday, we are expecting 12 bantams of assorted breeds, mostly decorative types, all bantams. These will be our hatching ladies, and pets for the kids. We finished clearing the pasture, and are working on fencing. Everything has been seeded and is starting to grow well. The grass out front is also looking mighty green with the new rainfall.

So, I guess that is it for now. A lot going on, and not much time to write. I have to work all week, so finding time to spend in God's Word, with family, and then the regular chores, along with company a few nights this week, it will be a busy one. I will try to write soon, and promise to post pictures of the chicks when they get here( or soon after)

Have a great week, all.
