What a Year!
Man, it has been a long, long while since I posted anything! Those frogs I posted about last time did mostly make it, though the birds and other critters got their fair share of tadpoles. There were still GOBS of frogs at the end of the life cycle, and we really did have to watch our step for a while they all dispersed to parts unknown.
Over the winter, we got busy supplying a couple of stores, and working our way (not always successfully) through our school work. We did eventually get on an even keel in both regards. We had a strange winter, with far more rain and cloudy weather than I think we have seen here in a long time (although I would imagine that there are a lot of places out there that could say the same about the past winter).
The spring brought not the warmer weather we were expecting, but more cool and wet weather! It is just now warming up past early-spring-like weather, and the plants are just as confused as we are. It also brought us 3 more stores, and all the logistic issues that go with it. We are adjusting finally, and torturing ourselves by adding on more clients (LOL! We love them anyway!).
Finally this last year has brought the advent of chickens for part of our Integrated Pest Management plan. Of course, there is the added benefits of fresh eggs! Yum! My DH designed and built a chicken coop, complete with an enclosed run, for our upcoming chicks after perusing pages ad-infinitum on coop designs. I will be posting our progress both with the coop and the chickens, but also our business as it continues to grow…..Hope we will hear from you as we always like getting questions from our readers!
