There was a lot of work to do after the snow storm.
A friend came over and we literally took my wood stove apart and even turned it upside down.
It’s a 30 year old air tight and this baffle was clogged with fine ash.
Hopefully it’s another 30 years before we have to do that again.
7 little Nankin chicks hatched last week
Even after 2” of rain the ground 8” down is bone dry.
I did manage to get one bed of blue potatoes planted. I have a few redskins to plant but their bed isn’t ready yet.
On Thursday I potted up about 200 flowers and herb plants.
There were a couple early morning visitors.
And a hawk in the afternoon.
I don’t think most people realize how much time a farmer spends looking at animal butts and animal poop. That’s Posie on Wednesday.
And some chicken butts today.
And Posie this afternoon.
Today I picked bunches of arugula and baby lettuce. I picked some beets too but forgot to take any pictures. It was cold and windy and Posie is a distraction.
Oh forgot to mention my friend came back and fixed a squealing thing on the van and moved an electric outlet for me, one step closer to getting the cook stove into the kitchen.

Today I so appreciate my friends. My house is toasty warm and we’re making some progress in other areas too.
