Today is the shortest day of the year. Beginning tomorrow each day will be about a minute or so longer until the longest day, the summer Solstice around June 21.
I spent the early morning turning compost. I’m pleased to find some worms coming into the oldest pile.
I also turned and fluffed the bedding in some of the chicken houses. It’s due to rain again soon and I need all that bedding to be as dry as possible so it can soak up moisture again.
Then I filled 48 2 gallon pots with compost.
I planted 150 daffodils in them and a few tulips. I have a few more tulip bulbs to plant. They should have already gone in the ground but I couldn’t get to it. And where I was going to plant them in the ground, well Giotto decided it was a great spot to dig a big hole to lay in. I don’t have time right now to fix that so this was the best solution.
I made a run for feed but most of those bags are loose hay I raked up from the hay barn at the feed store.
The chickens totally love scratching through it and eating it. A lot of it is alfalfa leaf which is a high protein feed for them.

Today I’m appreciating the warm sunshine and the relaxing rhythm of work around the place.
