Great Hope and Possibilities

The grass is green and growing fast, the fruit trees are blossoming, and it is a lovely time of year on the farm. Our new farm plan is working great and helping things to run very smoothly. We have been finishing butchering and filling the freezers for summer. We are gardening like crazy and will start our daily weeding next week. I am preparing the fields for planting - field corn, clover, oats/peas, dry beans, squash, and sunflowers. Some of these crops are for our food storage and some for the animals. We are planning our summer projects and identifying priorities around the farm. Spring is such a wonderful time of hope and possibilities. 

In the Spring everything is possible. The weather is not too warm and you are not yet escaping the heat. The grass is green and the soil damp while you work. There is great anticipation that everything will grow and provide great abundance. The weeds have not yet filled every crevice and you have hopes of a weed free existence. Every project has hope of being completed and you are yet to realize there may not be enough time or money this year. Yes, great hope and possibilities.
