This Week on the Homestead. 04/12/20 – 04/18/20
We had beautiful weather this week. According to local meteorologists we should have had 90 degree weather already. Instead, we mostly were in the low 80s. That is perfect for going outside and exploring the desert plants that are part of our homestead.

In spite of being sick for part of the week, I was able to get my garden beds finished. We also moved the last of the chickens from the house to the coop.

This week started with a pretty good rain storm. We ended up getting around .7 inches of rain. That is a pretty good amount at once in the desert. The rain doesn’t soak in well here so we had quite a bit of standing water.
