Saturdays in Starkville

We've had some gorgeous weather on the weekends down here and have been enjoying the great outdoors of Mississippi in February.

Here are some photos from a short walk we took in the Noxubee Wildlife Refuge (not to be confused with the Noxubee Hills Trails where we run).

Phil's been working on the farm, adding amendments to the soil and starting some seeds in our makeshift greenhouse. This weekend we worked on the piles of materials to be used in compost and for mulch later on. Nothing like raking and mowing on a beautiful Saturday to make you excited for farm life!
Early, early spring on the farm

Finally, with some help from our local paint lady we corrected some of our earlier mistakes with the house.
