The Nursery

We have a lovely porch on our house (please ignore the large pole, not our idea, but its here to stay). Unfortunately the windows no longer open and we live in Southern Colorado and this porch has southern exposure, making it way too hot in the summer.

However, it is wonderful through the winter and early spring. It is nice and toasty and holds the heat well through the night, making it a perfect nursery for all kinds of things....


Like my seedlings! The tomatoes, watermelon and rhubarb seedlings are all loving the accomodations!


And our meat bird chicks! They are so warm that the heat lamp only has to run for a few hours in the early morning to keep them nice and warm!


And, finally, these little guys! Kittens born just yesterday out in the porch! What fun to have a nursery and see all the babies (plant and animal) growing and thriving!
