CHICKEN COOPS, POTATO TOWERS AND CARROT BOXES

/ joseph elon lillie / Leave a comment

Aside from the burning and the fence building and the lawn mowing I am trying to get too, we have three projects which are time sensitive at the Vicarage and at least one of them is going to have to be a group project.

This is a rendering our new chicken run for the flock once the black austrolorps are ready to be out in the world. It stand about 7 feet tall so it is going to take a couple of us to get the roof up.

I am also thinking of repurposing the original chicken house we had for the old chickens the first year and then adding another small box to the mix.

BUT before that I have to plant the carrots in their boxes and get the potato towers built.

DO YOU HAVE A SPRING PROJECT YOU ARE WORKING ON?

Soon To Arrive

The Vicarage is a vital space right now.

herbs, flowers, trees and critters are waking up from their long winter’s nap with the promise of new life.

The elders and the youngsters of the household are discovering joy in the newness of life.

Our newest batch of chicks, black austrolorps, are awaiting the day they can burst out of their brooder box and embrace the warm earth.

And they are not the only ones. We have spent the winter preparing for the birth of the Vicarage’s newest human, my grandson. My youngest daughter’s youngest son will be born in June! I can hardly believe we are suddenly so close to the auspicious day! 

WHAT JOY WILL SPRING BRING TO YOU?
