Spring is BUSY on the Farm!

The past couple of weeks have been busy here at the farm.  I have had guests from out of town spending time at the homestead on and off for the past month.  Aside from that, preparing and planting the garden has taken top priority.

You all know that when guests come calling, the normal routine can get really messed up. Now that I am a bit better for wear, wanted to just post a little of the good things that are happening here on the farm - things I am so grateful for over the past month.

In no particular order, here are a few of them:

My husband and I have welcomed fourteen cheeping, peeping, fluffy bundles of goodness into our home.  These sweet Royal Palm turkey babies were hatched during the last two weeks of April.  Two of seven in the first hatching survived and twelve of thirteen of the second hatching made it.

Twelve Sleeping Peeps:

The garden has been planted using raised beds made from re-purposed vinyl fencing.  Except for the grapevines  - which my young Angus bull calf (Mocha) decided to trim for me when he broke into the garden yesterday -  all of the plants are growing like gang-busters and I hope will bear fruit very soon.

The tomatoes are getting very close to being ripe:

Now, I must get back outside to help with the farm chores and check on the animals ... 

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
