I am hoping for a repeat this spring.

I am posting in the middle of winter again - seems to be the trend of having just enough extra time on a farm in the middle of winter to get those things one wants to do ... while still getting done what has to be done daily to keep all alive and fed.

This winter has been open (not much snow or sub-freezing weather) so the chores are much easier to complete. 

Today it is time to settle in and watch some Football.  The playoffs have all had very good games this year - all quality games and very close - nail-biters!

This spring we will see if the little blue berry bushes and the apple trees we broke our backs to plant will be worth it.  Our shining stars so far are the raspberries - they were here before we "bought the farm" and have been going strong for years.  I froze some from last summer and have been feeding them to the chickens as a treat once a week.  

If you have any farming questions, post them to me and I'll publish the answer for all to read.
