Homestead Family News


The Pace is Picking Up Around the Farm...




It was a sunny, warm day here in the southeastern USA. The honeybees have finally begun to visit the various blossoms needing pollinating, though I haven't seen them on the one apple that is blooming yet. They were all over the camillias though! (See above collage)


I had my oldest grandchild helping with chores...Here you can see the raspberries are badly in need of weeding!

View from above the pool...I like to plant a spring garden just in front of the fence. I've already dumped a couple wheelbarrow loads from the goat barn earlier this winter, and also empty a container of kitchen compost every day there.That combination seems to really build the soil, as we've gotten a good report from the county extension office! I'll post soon how we've planted it...



During leisure time, we like to have a puzzle on-going! The current project is a coffee-themed one gifted to me at Christmas from my sister---Thanks Les! I have designated this antique tabletop to just that purpose:


The weather is supposed to be sunny and 60's today, so I'd better plan to get moving this morning! 
I hope you have a good day wherever you are in this big world " )
