One of the first signs of spring, and I'm glad to see it. I've already decided to put some of my garden in early in the hopes that spring is really here. I just finished digging up the ground for the first row, which will have onions and beets. I plan to plant the onion bulbs tomorrow or the next day as soon as the coming storms move through.
You ever have one of those Aha moments where you feel like you should've have known the answer all along? Well, that happened to me today when I finally realized I needed a shovel to dig up the earth and prepare it for a garden. I don't have a plow or cultivator, so I have to do everything by hand. I was using a hoe, rake and hand cultivator and wasn't having very good luck with the tough grass. Now, I've got my first row ready to plant, and I'm excited.
The weekend has been a little rough with the calves. Victoria decided not to eat Saturday morning. I know that is serious with bottle calves, and they can't go long without eating before going downhill. I called a vet in town and made plans to take her in that afternoon. She decided to eat when I offered it that afternoon, so I saved the money I would have spent on a vet bill. Sunday evening, Sweetie did the same thing. She ate fine this morning, so I think both calves are fine even though I don't know what the problem was.
This week promises to be productive as I work on my garden and try to get a pen set up for my outside dogs so I can move the calves into a bigger stall. I just hope the weather cooperates and we don't have any severe storms.
