January 1 - 5

We got 3-1/3 inches of rain last weekend! Wow, can't remember the last time our stream was that high! It's been really, really cold, so I'm glad to have something to work on inside these days.

As the new year starts, I am finishing up scheduling and mapping out our planting plans for the year. Thank you for all your input! Planning a big undertaking, and surprisingly, planting starts in not too many weeks -- it's time to start ordering seed soon! I'm glad though, there's just about nothing better than getting a box of seeds in the mail -- so much potential and life in each of those little seeds! Of course, right now in the middle of winter, we're planning for everything to work perfectly, without any weeds, droughts, excessive heat, weird late freezes, or anything else. Those things are where the real fun - and work! - comes in later.

Best wishes to you all for the new year!
