rainy day

i like my job.
actually, most of the time i really love my job.   but let's get one thing straight.

i am always looking forward to the weekend.

this is the time when we can really accomplish things in the yard.  clean out the chicken coop, turn the soil, plant some seeds, build stuff.   so, when it rains on the only two days i have off it really sucks. 

saturday was a complete bust.   it poured almost all day.  jen's mom was in town so we zipped down to the St. Lawrence market for some breakfast and delicious purchases.  i fell victim again to the wonderful macaroons from Lemon Tree Patisserie.   they get me every time.  
the rest of the afternoon was spent curled up watching movies and reading hobby farm magazine. 
sunday brought snow!   can you believe it?   snow on april 17th.   i figured that the poor chicken must be frozen since she's all alone and has no one to snuggle with so i padded the walls of the coop with plenty of hay.  even in the crummiest weather she always seems happy. 

here's hoping that easter weekend will be warm and dry.
