With lots of snow and rain comes mudseason in March:
The area behind the car port.
The Driveway a few days ago. It is worse now.
With the arrival of mudseason comes this years chicks. There are 26 in the kiddie pool. All different kinds. Theoretically I own 1/3 of them, although I have no idea what to do with them or how to take care of them just yet.
The breezeway is already starting to smell like chickens.....
We successfully completed our taxes yesterday, something I consider a major milestone of adult responsibility. If it were just a couple W-2's and a refund, no problem, but we had something like 6 W-2's, 3 1099's, 3 1098E's, a schedule C, and a section 179 from several different states. Despite owing the government a considerable amount, I was happy to see that our overall tax burden is pretty small, much less than it would be if were 'successful' in economic terms.
That's how it looks from the Country Estate.

This is the new chickens' house. They needed a new place to keep them safe from the three Maine 'coon cats. We think they like it, as they've made themselves at home like chickens do. Some of them have already learned how to roost, but they still sleep on their bellies wherever they get tired of walking. They'll probably be too big for it soon though. That's ok because soon we'll get some meat birds in there!
