Time for some Spring Cleaning....and a few chicks

Living in New Mexico, I could never really work in the yard because the wind blew so much that it was just miserable to be out in it.  We used to say that we had two seasons 1) Windy and 2) not so Windy.

 So since we have been having some great weather here in Utah lately, I have been anxious to get out in the yard. It first started with pulling out all the old dead stuff to make room for the new growth that will soon be coming. Things are starting to come together quite well.  We have torn out the old fence in the back yard and cleaned up the leaves and dead plants from last year.

(That wood fence back there is now gone)
 
 
 

 
Yes, we even called in the big guns to help burn the pile of debris




On a different note:

Alexis has wanted to have chickens ever since moving here.  Well her wish has come true.  We have the chicks:

We have all been helping with converting the old shed into a chicken coop with a chicken run attached:

 

 
Jake was a good sport about laying on his back to help finish off the roosting nests
 

 
Maybe one day these chickens will pay off... I think I've spent way more money on this coop than eggs can equal.
