Rain on the farm! We had a lot of rain during February, in fact so much that it just recently dried up enough to work the ground. The last week, however, has been so hot (really nice!!!) that the ground has dried up, at least on the surface, sorta like the "clay pottery in the oven" effect. So to say the least, today's shower came at the perfect time! New seeds in the ground, and a lot of mulch that needs to be weighted down so it stays in place. Our lettuce is starting to grow quite well, as well as all of the spinach and new spinach. The barred rock hens are starting to lay now also, which makes for a lot of eggs each day!

I love the salad spinner. It's big enough to clean a salad large enough for a family! Where did you find it or did you make it and how?
