Taxation fixation

We had a visitor yesterday, my sister Debbie came through on business. She worked on taxes here all afternoon, had a quick dinner before working on into the night, until 10:30. This time of year is crazy for her, so it was nice to get to see her at all, even though it was for business. She often works 12-14 hours a day this time of year, I don't' know how she does it. This morning she was off to St. Johns for the busiest weekend of her year. Hang in there Deb!

Today has been beautiful! it was in the high 60's all day, and gave me a little spring fever. My little winter garden is doing well, we've picked lettuce a few times, and the broccoli is coming along nicely. They all have heads on them, but none are big enough to pick yet. I think I have some cabbage and collards too, but they aren't big enough to tell them apart yet. Once it warms up after all this rain they'll really take off.

It feels like there may be a storm coming tonight, we'll see. I've been sluggish all day, even though it's so nice out. I let the chickens out into the front yard this afternoon, they are running around looking for bugs and greens, having a blast. I have to cover the row with the lettuce and stuff in it, or they'll pick it clean, but it's nice to have them scavenging bugs out there. I'm getting 3-4 eggs daily now, and I think I'll pick up a few more hens to round out the flock.
