Spring is upon us once again. Time to shake off the cold and the cobwebs and get back to work. The Guinea Fowl that were bred last year all survived the winter and are healthy and noisy as ever. Watch the clip below for an earful of their amazing alarm system. Our first woofer for the new year arrived, Sofie. We taught her how to catch trout in the front yard of our farm, along with many other skills. We butchered our Sheep from the previous summer. Very tasty mutton. Our second woofer joined Sofie to help clear some jungle and plant new gardens. Sofia and Sofie, what are the odds? :) As usual, Odin observes the work and offers helpful observations. The strawberry patch overwintered well in the newly cleared jungle and is ready to explode with growth now. Sofia and Mitra plant Kale in a sunny location that was jungle a few weeks earlier. The large trees are left to decompose on the ground and provide fun walkways. Sweet
