High Art on the Farm

Farmer Jeff and I spent some time this weekend working on the yard. In doing so, we found ourselves creating "Farm Art". What does "Farm Art" look like?

Here is a rough idea: Take T-posts, place them in such a fashion as to create triangular shapes, take everyday materials such as binder clips and greenhouse plastic and then ...wrap trees! Not just any trees, but citrus trees!!! Do you think this is ground breaking work? I wonder if we could qualify for a grant.

The end project looks like this:
Okay...we might not have started off trying to create an homage to Cristo, but we ended up creating some pretty solid protection from frost for our 5 citrus trees! Before we wrapped our Meyer lemon tree, we picked all of the fruit. It is SO pretty.

Tonight was the first night the new kids/pullets/little girls put themselves to bed without any help from us. I am so pleased. It makes life much easier on us. As you can see from the picture, they still love to hang out together. Girls Club!
