Getting in order

Since moving in here last year, I have had things stored in Sterilite boxes stacked up here and there. No place to really get them organized, just stack them up elsewhere. With the shelves up in the shed, I can get the house organized now in time for Easter. Going to work on that tomorrow. Need to clean house and yard, too before Sunday. Going to have the egg hunt here and want it to look nice. I want it to look nice any way but that gives me an extra push to get it done faster. 

Got some things for Easter today. Dye, basket, candy, stuff to make cookies with. Still need to get my daughter an Easter dress. Also need eggs but hoping they'll be on special this week. 

Been gradually increasing the dog's time outside over weeks, when it wasn't too cold. Weather is nice enough that she made the transition to being an outdoor dog last night. Seems to be liking it. She's more energetic and playful.

Started moving the chicks outside this afternoon. They seem to like it, as well. Put them in the hutch. If the get too hot, they can go from the open run to the enclosed hutch. Whole thing is protected on all sides since I got the top on yesterday. Started mixing bread and other bird food in with their chick starter feed and they're taking to that well. Just have to watch them and make sure they digest it properly. I'm still bringing them inside at night because they're not completely feathered out yet.

May be jumping the gun but replanted three kinds of peas and celery yesterday, more Romaine and broccoli today. Need to get more spinach seeds, I think. I'd much rather be thinning out than waiting for something to grow which never does.

If the weather warms up only a little bit more, it will be an awesome spring and growing season! If that happens and remains that way for a while, both warm and cool season crops will thrive at the same time! However, there is a light frost forecast for this Fri night. I may try planting out some warmer weather crops next week, after that frost.
