Demo Demons!!!

Demolishing begins in earnest! First with the tunnel (since I've got rows of tulips and daffodils next to it that may decide to come up early with the mild temps of winter so far) and with the garage. 

The sunny days make it easy to get out and get things done with the darker, cooler times spent planning the structural improvements that will be needed for the tunnel so I can sleep easy the next time I hear a gust of wind.

The sun and melting ground also meant the hens got to have an outing! In February! 

And Hella helped me to seed the first flats for this season. Mainly she meowed and sun bathed in the 60+F Dragon Dome greenhouse while I individualized tiny, tiny flower seeds!

​I'll be back this Friday for the egg delivery! No micros yet, but a new batch is sprouting up now so you won't have to wait too much longer! Me and the eggs will be in the Fireman's Park parking lot tomorrow, Feb 14th from 12-1230pm!

The tunnel wreckage has been taken apart and the soil-protective tarps are back in place and all those tunnel pieces are good at adding weight to keep the tarps down!.

A big pile of future scrap posts and things that I feel like I should keep and do something cool with but that will probably just sit there in the long grass and stare at me for years to come.

The wind was strong enough to bend the rebar that anchored each post into the ground. From the debris I surmised that one side was lifted up a few feet (those posts were pulled straight out) and then the wind bent it over on the other side (those posts were all bent like this one) since it was anchored too well to do a full 'mary poppins'.

Who let the hens out? Me! It's sunny. It's warm. It's melty ground with grasses and mud. All things hens enjoy!

Even the barn hens got to stretch their wings! Just needed to move the twisted wire and hoops outta the way and then their off! They've been cooped up, literally, for the past week and will be for at least another while I get busy with rebuilding their run. The wood is in the barn and it's only waiting on me to make space in my living room so I can seal & stain it all in a place that's not below freezing.

While the sun's out the greenhouse dome gets nice and snuggly warm, even when the wind picks up in the afternoon, it is still a nice place to work and stay cozy at the same time. Hella agrees even if the 'work' part isn't in her job description!
