OT - Springing Into Spring

I'm not all the way sure this is really so *Off Topic.* The bursting growth of Spring tends to intensify my bursts of anxiety as much as anything else in the sudden bustle of life around me. Giving myself a burst of growth helps me feel a part of the annual hubub. My burst this year is my second round of chicken keeping. My first round was in a North American sunbelt urban backyard. This round is going up on a farm in Southern Great Plains cattle country. I splurged on a pre-fab coop kit that is advertised to hold 25 chickens. ( https://urbancoopcompany.com/product/round-top-walk-in-chicken-coop/#package-essentials ) I am currently prepping the site where the coop will be assembled when it arrives in between tapping my foot impatiently for the projected delivery date of April 25th. Sometimes Spring just ain't springy enough for my impatience.


Anybody else got Spring reactions and/or projects? I guess that would be Winter projects for you folks in the Southern Hemisphere.

Cool, I watch lots of YouTube videos. On how to build stuff etc..how things work. Even food, travel and exotic cars. One thing I recently watched was on how chickens produce eggs. Kinda interesting. Raising your own eggs must be kinda fun.

I think I would like fresh eggs. But I can't have chickens where I live.
I don't have spring projects. But I like to listen to the birds, look at
the flowers, open my house windows.

I can't wait for the flowers, farmers markets, and all my food to grow! I love cooking fresh meals with the ingredients from the garden and having flowers everywhere!!

That sounds interesting. I hope that you enjoy your hobby. When the weather gets nicer, I get outside more and look for new parks and trails to discover. It is fun for me to explore new sites.

Exploring new sites is an endless hobby. So much world and so little time! ! ! Even on the familiar trails, there are always new sites, flowers, markets and gardens to discover.

May the discovery never end.
