Spring is coming

I tried to upload a picture of my grandson, Wyatt and myself Iafter we made a pie with PourAPie. I kept getting error. I'll keep trying. Wyatt is here for his weekly sleepover at Nana's. He is old enough now that he is sometimes staying home to play with his friends on the block instead of coming to Nana's. This makes me sad.

Spring is coming on the farm. The peaches, pears and cherries are all in bloom. The rest of the orchard is starting to leaf out. The blueberries (we have about 8 bushes right now) and just budding. Our orchard is just a sea of pink and white blooms. It is beautiful.

The bad part of spring coming to the farm is the hard work begins. We have started to clean the flower beds. We sell bouquets at our local Farmers Market every Saturday. All the stall need their spring cleaning. (YUCK!!!!) When it is really cold, you just shovel out the worst of it and pray about the rest. I think my mom calls that a lick and a promise. (not a good visual). Our chickens have begun brooding. They are sitting on their eggs hoping to hatch out some babies. I guess I need to tell them the facts of life because as of right now there are no roosters in the barn. I have 4 or 5 in the greenhouse growing but not ready to be a man yet.

This past week has been a horrible week. We have been the busiest that we have ever been at work. The barn went up. It just took the guys 3 days to build the barn. I also had carpet laid in the living room and master bath. (tax check return put to good use). You do not know how much junk you have in your living room until you have to clean it out. But the old carpet had to come up. I have 2 granddaughters who are on the floor now and our carpet was hideous. For some dumb reason, I chose champaign colored carpet the first time around. On a farm, no less. This time something darker and kid proof is on the floor. This all had to be done on top of trying to get stuff ready for a festival in about 4 weeks. (Does any of this sound familiar?) If I would have had time, I would have had a meltdown and cried. How do you handle all the stress and pulls on your time?
