It's 85° in the Hill Country with no sign of another freeze this year. The Mrs and I went to the nursery yesterday and bought a Shinseiki Pear and two Pomegranate to add to our little orchard. We also bought some pepper plants to replace the ones that died off in the house last month. I spent couple hours today turning the soil in the raised beds and planting the peppers and tomato plants. Everything is now being watered well.
I was "helped" by our two goslings who can't get the idea that they are water birds and should be in the pond. They've been following me around like little puppies all day long.
The rest of the flock is doing well. We haven't had any losses from the new chicks (knock on wood), and the dummy ducks have finally gotten the idea that they are supposed to lay eggs in their duck-house and not hidden someplace on the farm.
We're supposed to get some rain tomorrow or Sunday. I can only hope. We really need the moisture.
