You sound like my kind of people !AND the fruit trees , etc. blooming there mirror the ones here..so must be in a similar weather zone or maybe just this freaky weather...Red buds are blooming up here on the ridge, also, but ours volunteered up right under a big Maple tree so is slower to bloom...I wish you well in this late Spring blast heading our way. Only rain called for here, but maybe storms and hail... Envy you the chickens....An elderly friend of mine liked half banty chickens for economy purposes, and used her banty's to hatch out all sorts of eggs..even a swans eggs a couple times...Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Tue, 9 Apr 2013 19:36:15 -0500 Pat McKinley <[email protected]> writes: > Haven't been on for a while.
