Stilll Raining on the Farm

Well it's official, the weather man says we are .4 inches from having the wettest spring ever! And we got .75" last night! It's making it very difficult to getting things done around the house but we have been getting by.

 We have been here for 5 years and have moved our vegetable garden 3 times now. It was originally in the fields behind the house but we've decided to leave that open for extra pasture for the horses so now we've it moved down near the house so it will be an annex to our yard. i have managed to get 12 wheel barrows of manure on it and till it twice. I hope it dries out in time to plant. We're keeping it small until we're sure this is where we want it. The whole back side is surrounded by wild day lilies so it should look pretty cool.


It's lucky that we bought a commercial mower because with this weather I've had to mow at least once when i knew the yard was too wet but the Toro pro model did a pretty good job. We even got to weed some of our flower beds.

The apple blossoms have finally arrived and the horses and goat are trying to stay dry but the chickens love the worms!
