Some of you might remember the Chicken Sh*t saga.
This fall we finally spread the last of it, then regraded the entire field behind the
horse barn, and left a big pile of the extra dirt from the regrade
on the edge of the field to ferment futher.
We fortified the soil in the field with lime too, for better quality hay growth this coming season.
Valentines Day was spent redistributing the extra dirt,
with a hired dump truck to haul it to another farm that is using it to dry out their fields.
Since I don’t run with the big dogs when they’re digging in the dirt,
I wandered off to the old bottle dump behind the farm with my camera.
Back at the house, I noticed such rich purple/gold hues in my chocolate coral bell patches…
during a normal winter season these would be crispy brown leaves under snow.
If you’re still with me here, I forgot to announce the winner of the Peanut Butter coupons from
Peanut Butter and Company – Tgannon!! He’s already been notified.
Thank you for all your kind words on yesterday’s post regarding the many
different views of Love. It was so much fun.
And just so ya know, often I try to reply to a comment left here,
so many of you say such nice things or ask a question.
But there are still quite a few readers who have that function turned off,
so I can’t reply. If you wish to change that… here’s how.
What a nice bunch of treasures in the woods. I respond to some comments but just never seem to get to all of them. Shame on me!
I really really like your new header.
Oh, I totally forgot about your chicken s&*t saga. That was so funny! But, uh, not for you!
Love the color of those leaves 🙂 So unusual.
The holes in that tree look like a highrise apartment! LOL! Did you venture close enough to see what is living inside?
Loving those bottles! You need to bring those up to the house and use them for vases! 🙂
great pictures as usual !!! I dream of having that much land to work with one day ! did you guys add thw rock wall i love that!
Wow, those holes in the tree are huge. Love the striped stone, and your bottle dump.
love the tree w/ all the holes! and it's gotta feel good to get the dirt spread!
Love the bottles you found! We have found quite a few treasures on our property but never any bottles that were that complete.

I can't believe how much ___ our two chickens can do! Love the bottles; my mom used to collect old bottles. Joni
Shit! That's the word. There. I mentioned it. Sorry Karen, but I just had to 😉
And… any complaints from the neighbours yet?
(If you get complaints about me using the word shit, oops, did it again, just send them over to my place.)
Lovely bottles. I wonder what made the holes in the tree. Woodpeckers? Neat job.
Love these photos. We discover old bottles here and there on our property.
Your post about love was really wonderful.
