Spring is coming!

Last night as we were gathering around the dinner table to eat, I noticed that it was already 6 pm and it was still light outside! How exciting! The days are getting longer, which means spring is almost here! Apparently Cedar (in the pic to the right) is ready for both! Well our seedlings are doing very well and it is almost time to start some more.  The snow on the ground is slowly melting, and the rain is helping. There should definately be enough ground moisture to get the spring growng season off to a good start! Our new hotboxes have been filled with a great blend of hot manure (horse/sheep/goat/chicken) and some potting soil, and all topped of with some year old compost. We are letting the worms do their thing for a bit while we let the dirts combine and get ready to accept some early variety plantings! The spinach and lettuce in aother cvered bed is just about ready to start harvesting. I think that all of these slow winter days are going to be greatly missed by the middle of summer! I am very thankful to live in a plce that allows us to enjoy each season!

Uh, we are not sure what happened, but this is the birthday cake Treas. wanted to make! It was good, especially the "pour" on frosting! The cream would never thicken!?!


Matches create memories! She was very happy!
