I didn't get to go to the Farmers' Market today. I am sick, durn it! Some kind of flu-like thing. Fever, aches, more aches, headaches, and worst of all, my gluteous maximus aches like the dickens!
Sigh. I have so many things to do in the Spring. I have plants that need to be put out. I did get about 6 tomato plantes planted in my haybales last week, and they seem to have taken root just fine.
I have some cantaloupe plants that I started from seed that really, really, really need to be put out today or tomorrow.
Oh, and cayenne peppers - I have about 30 of those plants. I love cayenne peppers - I can dry them and turn them into chili ristras and sell them at market.
Mrs. Duck laid an egg today - she must be back in the laying mode.
We named the peafowl - our peacock is Reggie and our peahen is Veronica. He has been dancing around here for days now, and she makes a huge thing out of pointedly ignoring his amourous advances. Very funny. Sometimes, he starts to dance around one of the guinea fowl or the chickens, and they just look might confused when that happens! I suspect that Reggie and Veronica are getting it on at night, maybe. They go off into the trees across the road and Reggie makes a lot of huge, noisey peacock calls. It sounds like we live in a zoo!
Well, look. I've managed to write three blog posts in a row! Maybe I can start again with all this stuff and stay with it!

Feel better, soon, Beth… no good time to be sick on the farm, but Spring really stinks!
Yuck! I hope you recover quickly.
I enjoy the blog posts, I hope you manage to stick with it!
Wish I lived closer, I’d come help you out. So Reggie & Veronica…do you have an Archie & Betty??
No Archie and Betty yet - I’m waiting for my chicks to develop enough to find out who is a rooster or a hen!
I’m feeling better, but I’m very tired. I still have a headache and joint pain often.
Tina - I wish you lived closer too! I need some help today! LOL!
