Ready to Work

David saw Daddy with potting soil in his wheelbarrow so he wanted some too. He is always ready to "help" with whatever we are working on around the farm. Having a little guy on the farm can be very challenging at times, with the constant reminders not to step on the plants or dig up the seeds, but it is also such a joy. He is so enthusiastic about the garden. When we set up the hoophouse he was jumping up and down exclaiming "We are putting the hoophouse up, we are putting the hoophouse up!" He talks about the Farmers Market all the time and wants to bring vegetables from his garden to sell (he also wanted to bring his legos to sell). He is learning so much every day about planting and growing veggies. Sometimes he sees how we do something once and the next time he is telling us what to do:) Having him with us and involved in everything we do is such a joy and benefit for all of us.

Spring!

We have been enjoying the lovely spring weather! It is exciting to see the lettuce and greens growing well. We are looking forward to the Chewelah Earth Day Fair this Saturday and the farmer's market in Colville starting next weeks! Come see us at the Chewelah Earth Day Fair at the St. Paul Lutheran Church! We will have a few of the first spring greens, along with aprons, soap, lip balm, tomato plants and more!

Morning Sunshine

This morning I went out to the garden early in the morning. The sun was shining and it was already beginning to warm up. It was so peaceful and fresh out there. First I fed all the chickens, then watered some seeds we planted recently. A pair of honking geese flew overhead. I think I need to get up earlier more often and enjoy the fresh new mornings.

Spring Chicks

Time for baby chicks! These little pullets should start giving us lots of eggs later this year!

A Little Bit of Spring

We have flats of little plants started inside. It is making it fell like spring is getting a little closer!

Projects

I have been working on some exciting new craft projects for the markets this year and the Etsy shop. Hopefully Soon I will have some listings in the shop soon!
