The piglets of last spring are in freezer camp and the next set are weaning from their sow as spring sets in. The hens lay over a dozen fresh eggs daily and only occasionally feed the local hawks and coyotes and coons. Sheep, goats, cows, and our pony share pastures with the chickens, guineas and wildlife. Jerusalem artichokes and grapes are newly planted and berry vines and fruit trees are just starting to bud. We see ring-necked phesants almost daily and muskrats & a blue heron visit our creek.
