Hi Friends!
Happy Easter! Hoping this
email finds everyone healthy and happy.
Finally, the folks who
run the big, yellow bed and breakfast on the hill in Danville decided to let
Joan come back to the farm. Yahoooooo! Feeling much better. Working on
breathing and even that is coming around. Still a ways to go until we get back
to where we were, but a real blessing to be home. Thank you to all for the
support!
So, farm news includes
hawks, foxes, tractor work, seeding peas and planting scallions. I can always
tell when spring is close as the chickens get harranged by hawks (lost 2) and
foxes (lost one). This has become a spring ritual as wildlife is hungry and our
chickens make a nice easy meal. And, now that Mother Nature has let up a bit,
tractor work can happen! Cool! Needed a new battery though to get going. I
guess 10yrs of original battery isn't bad. I was able to work up the first 4
beds this week and today we seeded peas! Yea! Mr. Big (shelling pea) and Oregon
Sugar Pod (snow pea) made the trip from cooler to ground! A great feeling. Snap
peas will be right behind. Also today, scallions are going in right behind the
garlic where the deer can eye them up but won't eat. Deer are out there big
time. Around 18 in the bottom field the other night when I came home from the
hospital. No good. Now we plant and seed, plant and seed, plant and seed. Ken
is back for another year and has been a big help already. Looks like Stacy will
be back Monday and our college friend, Annie, will be around to help also! We
might have a work crew after all. Time to move on.
Buying club should open
next week. Down this week for the Easter holiday. So, we hope everyone has a
nice Easter filled with happiness and health. Be well, and thanks again for the
support.
