Can't see the woods for the trees

The news from Maurers Lane...

The big wind storm last week dropped a few trees around our house, one of which ripped the electrical service right off the house. We decided we’ve had enough of trees falling around the house and the next day we had a logger in to remove some trees. Here they are yarded in front of Pam’s place. The cherry picker came on Wednesday and took them away.











Logger’ll be back next winter to log the whole property – lots of pines will go. In the meantime the Great Chicken Project continues. The BIG tree was finally taken down and removed.



GONE!

So, now the chicken house can be moved into place, because the one-day old cheeps arrive on June 17th! We’re getting 3 of each of the following (all hens except for one of the Silver Lace Wyandottes, which will be a rooster)




Meanwhile, the goats are having a great time munching their way through all the pine branches, and the sap’s running like mad out of the maple trees.


Happy Spring!
