Planting the main garden.
Around mothers day we got our main garden planted. We were a little late on planting the cold hardy vegetables but the rest were right on time. In the past few years we’ve gone through an evolution of our garden

Wet chicks
We went out to milk the goat tonight and one of our 6 week old baby chicks was sitting under the steps soaking wet. When we put her back into the coop with the other chickens she was not moving
