It's been a while since I wrote anything on here, but I haven't quit blogging - I've just been so busy! After our long winter, the weather finally straightened up and so we have been very busy getting the yard and garden ready for summer. In between rains, we tilled and planted and weeded and mowed and trimmed, etc. But the gardens are finally planted up! The ticks have been bad, though. Every time I come inside and check for ticks, I usually find some. Ick.
The 2014 Farmer's Market begins this Thursday. So every Thursday from this week until early October, we will be tied up with market activities. This week I won't have any garden produce, but we will have honey, chokecherry syrup and my 7 grain bread to sell. Soon, I'll have herbs and lettuces to add, too.
It seems the grass grows at a record pace in the early spring! I end up having to mow grass about every 3 days. But that is no problem with my new riding mower! It's a joy to use.
Harold has been busy minnow harvesting and running the bait to the shop. So far so good, but that will probably end soon as the summer gets hotter. In addition to being busy with homesteading stuff, we've been busy going to doctor's appointments for both of us. (annual physical exams for me and tests for Harold). All is well.
Soon I hope to have some new photos to share, but I just wanted everyone to know I haven't forgotten this blog! There just aren't enough hours in the day to do all that we need to do. Good thing we have daylight hours until almost 9:30 p.m. now in Minnesota, and sunrise at 5 a.m. We need that long growing time AND the extra hours to work in!
