No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth.
Looking back on my last post on this blog there was still snow on the ground and now we have passed through spring and the first day of summer. Blogging has taken a backseat to life. Just about everything that could cause havoc in my life has given its best shot and I am still limping along. I have lots of not yet finished projects. The ones that I shared in the last post are still not finished but I am moving forward and they will eventually be crossed off my to do list.
Still painting. Still doing the window trim but I am enjoying my new windows.
The maple sap season is done, and I have some syrup tucked away. My new buckets worked pretty well.
The lettuces and greens in the greenhouse are done until fall. The plant starts for the summer garden for friends and family grew and have been delivered. Lots of the big garden is planted and so far no rabbits have gotten in to sample anything.
The farmers market has started back up. I missed the first day but have made it to three since then. there are not a lot of vegetables available yet so the customer traffic has been a little light. I am finding some new gluten free recipes and so my repertoire is slowly expanding. No one else in our small market is doing gluten free so I am hoping to fill a need.
I have been trying to add some perennial fruit to the farm each year. The fruit that I ordered this year arrived and was planted. They were bare root and all are getting new growth. This year's additions are an apple tree, two peach trees, 12 grape vines and four blueberries.
Libby, the new puppy is growing like a weed. She still plays in the water and is muddy everyday. She has a innate ability to find water. Leaky hose--she will find it. Puddle at the end of the sump pump hose--finds that too. When we weren't getting rain and I was spending a lot of time watering she was my constant companion, drinking from the hose and splashing in the water, Now that Mother Nature is helping out with lots and lots of rain she finds all the low spots with the standing water.
It has taken two days to get this little update done and there aren't even any pictures. Such is the story of my life right now. Thanks for visiting.
