We’ve just entered our fifth year here on the farmette and spring is on it’s way, or so I keep telling myself. A lot has changed in the past 4 years, and a lot has stayed the same. The frogs still sing on spring nights, there are seeds under lights, the shed is full of peeping chicks again, the dogs are still digging holes in the yard (much to Mike’s chagrin), and there’s a cat wrapping around my ankles every time I step outside.
But this year we’re not building fence (thank goodness) and we’re greeted by horses when we get home. The garden is staying the smaller size of last year and I’ve eliminated a few more species from the plans. We’re as busy making plans to work on the house as we are making plans to work on the outbuildings and the pasture.
The more settled we become, the more there is to do. But then again, we’re not terribly good at sitting still and taking it easy, so neither of us is really complaining.
What’s got you working hard this spring?
