Well for a few days it feels as though Spring is right around the corner. In the 40′s today and tomorrow perhaps 50′s. We will be going to the country tomorrow to check things out and see how winter treated us this year. We know we have some broken water pipes so it will be a job waiting for us . How many little critters visited us I dont know for sure but tomorrow will tell us by their little dropings if any.
It will be nice to be back to our favorite place again even though we will just about freeze until we can warm everything up. It’s our home away from home. Dont know which is better but we are blessed to have what we have and it is great to share it, even better when we can share it with family and friends.
Have big ideas again for the garden which includes many more berry bushes since we just love them, and the children look forward to eating them right off the bushes. Oh such joy. Planning on putting a few more fruit trees in too, we probably wont live to see them fruit but the Grandchildren will and that will be just fine. Then I am planning on putting in some Grapes which I used to have but they were in the way of
mowing so we had to take them down. Also I want to do up much more food for the winter and dry a lot of things so I have lots of planning to get to and ordering. It is a busy time for gardeners now because planning is the biggest and most important job .
Next come my Bees. I am in the process of cleaning up my old hive and Pop is going to get a hive too and we are going to raise bees together this year at home. This should prove interesting and fun. Already last year I planted lots of plants the bees will love and planning on putting much more in this Spring. I have some Aster seeds along with Lupines, Sweet William, and a few more to get started next week so they will be ready when the weather warms up and I can transplant them.
Good news abound in our family. Two more Great Grandchildren on the way and another Grandson getting marrried in July. How Blessed we are.
Be back again come Springtime and more to share.
Enjoy each day and give thanks for family and friends.
Nan and Pop
It sounds beautiful! Love you both!
