Bringing in Spring, despite higher than average temperatures, we've made significant progress.
Provider green beans, potatoes, butternut squash, loofa plants, yellow clover, johnsongrass and native grasses are all growing quite well, and I'm optimistic we may have something to harvest at the end of the season.
The chicks we brooded are thriving, and happy, shaded by our biggest mesquite tree.
Bats hang out in the evenings, as does a single owl occasionally.
It's a lot of work, but it feels hopeful.
