Almost There

We're almost there!

another couple of days



The sun is shining, the breeze is warm, and the soil is warming up.





I thought this was slightly amusing, our smallest tractor and a bigggg fertilizer spreader



Our little green soldiers are through the soil and will be on their way to a store near you very soon.

This way or That way

 Today was an outside Monday.

Usually Monday is an office day for me, but today it was too beautiful and the sunshine was calling!

With the size of the farm, things can get a little spread out and you do a lot of walking, or biking, motor biking, quading, depending on the mud/heat factor.

I started with my nice new pruning sheers. Now, what to get at first. I did the grapes last week so what about those rose bushes...

after some torn clothes and scratched arms, the dogs and I decided that could possibly wait till next year.

Then I decided that the (very little) greenhouse needed to be cleaned out.  Everything was going OK until I got to the flats that were frozen to the ground...

after some pulling and cursing I decided that could wait until the sun thawed everything out.

OK, lets take some pictures for the blog...

Everywhere I went there was something in the shot that shouldn't be there, a broken pallet, a left over pail, etc. etc.

After all of my good intentions I decided to make a list and work from one end of the yard to the next, and not run around starting on everything at one time.

But I did get some sunshine in my day today, and Charlie and I found where those lost tulip bulbs are hiding under the turf we laid last fall!

Free Asparagus

Advertising is a great thing for a any business, especially if you can convey what is special about your product and what you offer... Unless there is a break in communication with your advertising provider.

Now, maybe someone was having a bad day, or it was early on a Monday, or comparatively, late on a Friday and someone wanted to go home and party the weekend away...

But this was going a little over the edge when it comes to mistakes.  The advertiser will remain unknown to all you out there, but this was a publication that is out for a full year with no recourse for corrections...

TA DA...

I have to say I DID catch this one.   But could you imagine having to honour everyone who came in asking for free asparagus!

PS  I am chuckling now as I write this, but at the time it was a bit of a shock thinking I might have missed the 15 day proofreading time limit!
