A spring update from Paradise

It is starting to get very busy here over the last couple of weeks and Kenny Ray and I have been busy.
The garden is partly in the ground as we got it prepped and the weekend of March 30th , Mom and my nephew Biscuit { Danny} came down and Uncle Ken came up , Mom Ken and I planted potatoes onions , peas and radish's as well as 62 strawberry plants that mom and give me for my birthday. Mom also cooked us a great dinner. I have since planted cabbage ,spinach, lettuce and more onions and another seventy five strawberry plants as well. Kenny Ray and I have also been planting flowers around the house for Tari. Our baby twenty five Buff Orpinton chicks arrived April fourth and we bought some baby ducks this past weekend at a swap meet two Indian Runners and two Mallards. I am still feeding my bees trying to bring along the week hives and will be checking on them today as well.
               I got to meet the Bainbridge fire department two weeks ago as I set my woods on fire. I had been burning brush for a week and Kenny Ray and I even burnt one of my gardens off , as my grandfather's did their Tobacco beds to sterilize the ground. We had no problems but I start a fire in the trash barrels and the wind carried off a spark and ignited the leaves Kenny Ray and I fought it for about half an hour til I gave up and him go to the house and call 911. They arrived and put it out in less than five minutes, very nice guys. They had just finished putting out another fire in the woods when they got our call, Wade one of the firemen told me they had been busy the last three days with brush fire's getting away from people. Kenny ray joked with me as my dad had set the same area on fire about ten years ago , you know dad like father like son. I said yea you had better remember that.
                                        We have also been busy catching fish we have we managed to squeeze in some fishing it was hard Kenny Ray had to twist my arm{ha ha}to go. Kenny Ray gets angry at Belle the wonder Lab as she runs the bank and goes for an occasional swim but the funny part is that I taught her to retrieve a bobber that I lost and now some times she will go after a bobber when you cast and I have to stop her.
Well I need to get my day day started I have fifteen fruit trees to plant today and one very important thing to do today put up my hammock.
