Spring 2010

Well it sure has been wet. This is the most rain I can remember since we moved here five years ago. I love it. Everything is green and growing like a weed. Unfortunately the weeds have taken off and show no signs of stopping. Our lawn mower quite working and we are way behind on the trimming and mowing. We ordered a bush wacker and it is on back order unti June 15th. We have plans to borrow the neighbor's mower. Plants in the greenhouse are growing well and much of the lavender needs to be repotted into 4" pots. We have 8 pigs this year. It will be a challenge to keep the pig "aroma" away from the lavender during the festival. We plan to dry out their pen and are contemplating moving them temporarily. We bought 15 buff orphington hens and they are doing so well. When I look out to the chicken coop they look like little speckles of sunshine. Now that school is out many of the get-to-laters are going on the hurry-up-and-get-done lists. I will work to keep up the blog in my spare time. Hope to see you at the festival July 10 and 11, 2010.
