Beautiful Days

It's a beautiful Sunday morning.  The sun is shining brightly out the window.  I can see the goats grazing, the cat boots making his round, and birds flittering by.  There is a pair of doves that few out by the goldfish pond, and yesterday I saw a brown thrasher play in the garden sprinkler.  I'm so glad spring is finally here and things are warming up a bit.

Warming up a bit is right.  Yesterday I had errands to run in the morning, so I didn't make it out to the garden to work until right after lunch time, which on the previous weekends had been just right for it to warm up enough to get outside and work...well yesterday it was hot already, and I was loving it.  The pool is warming up too, and soon it will be just right to get out and work in the hot and take a refreshing dip in the pool to cool off. 

I planted more tomatoes and peppers yesterday.  I worked on the trellis system to help stake the tomatoes up as they grow.  Things are sprouting up everywhere.  Butter peas, green beans, squash, peas, and corn are peeking out from under the earth reaching toward the sun.  We are working today more on a watering system.  I put out...let's just say a bunch of soaker hoses...and I'm still working on a way to get them turned on easily....in the process repairing old hoses, putting in new spigots to connect it all up to...

We've also got to work on getting the fence back up around the garden to bring the four horse mowers back home to mow...and to keep the deer from the garden as well...and we need a new goat pen.... so although we've been super busy, there's plenty of work to be done...and not as much time to blog right now... more later with pictures and up dates....

I'm so glad spring is here!

Sounds good looking to the part when we gather and cook all the fresh things. I got you some LADY FINGER PEAS. Looking forward to a good summer with my family.
