Gildrien Farm

It rained and rained yesterday, and almost all the snow from the winter so far has been melted away. The brown fields look a bit sad, but the chickens are loving the snow-free ground (and the snow-free compost pile!). They've been running around outside all day today, whereas usually they only venture out a little ways, and only on sunny days. For their sake, I hope that it stays like this a while, but really I'm wishing for more snow. There will be plenty of mud and muck in spring - I don't need any now!
