Day 4

Today, it was a little difficult to get out of bed! I suspect tomorrow will be a little worse.... I spent a lot of time laying straw over newly seeded dirt in an attempt to keep it from drying out. It was very windy, too, so I had to bend over quite a bit to get the straw in the right place without blowin away.

I also learned the difference between straw and hay. Not something normally taught in suburban public schools!

We talked a lot about chickens, too, and I find it amazing all the things I DON'T know. I think, we've only scratched the tip of that iceberg!

But, the seeds we planted on my first day here have started to germinate already! The circle of life has begun!
