Spring Update

Except for the fact that there is snow in the forecast for tonight, it appears spring has sprung here.  Kidding season has started on the farm.  For more of that, please see the farm's own blog: sugarmaplesprings.blogspot.com

As for a quick recap of the happenings here:

We celebrated Micah's sixth birthday.

He was a king for the day!

His request: bouncy ball cake

We had a wonderful Easter celebration that included "croc hunting" after church.  (Jonah lost one of his 'croc' shoes in a creek and we all went scrambling thru the thorn brambles to rescue it... and we did.)

The walk. This was moments before
Jonah lost his croc in the creek.
"Croc hunt 2012!"

The garden and orchard have had their ups and downs but for the most part are doing well so far.

The apple and pear trees have bloomed.  :)

Spring garden: onions, garlic, mint and oregano.  :)

The peach trees were hit by frost.  :(

One of the itty bitty cherry trees did not survive the winter.  Here is the one that did.
We added another bigger one (picture to come.)  Maybe we'll have cherries in 10 years!
