Rain at last. . . rain at last. . .

Albeit its only been a day, but at this point i would take seagull sweat falling from the sky! It was a good overcast steady rain.

The turkeys are finally ready to be outside. i left four of them out last night and they seemed to have done well. Tonight there are six going out. My plan is to make sure that the fence is reinforced tomorrow (so there will be no escapees) and put them out permanently on Friday morning. One of the perks of an hot dry spring is that the nights are warm and i wont worry about the birds freezing.

The garden is finally all in. Dry, but in. We are going to experiment this year with some "communal" planting. i am sure that there is a way more technical term, but communal seems to be the catch phrase around the house. i have been reading up on plants that are natural deterrents to certain pests that make vacation homes in our garden. For example - marigolds and flea beetles don't get along well. So now all of the planting is a matter of flowers and optional.
Yummies are on the way. . .
