On the Farm

Life in the greenhouse from a few weeks ago; little baby plants.  I think that if I time traveled and told me-from-4-years-ago that I'd be tromping around in the mud, sitting with goats, counting down the days until the farmer's market opens for the season, tending to my own world of plants in my apartment, and spending time being happy on a farm, I would not have believed it.  But all of those things are true.

I've done a lot of work in the past 7 years that has been so tied up in my own head and in my own life that it's so freeing feeling to be able to just go outside and look at things growing and make work that is less entangled in my personal life.

The life outside the greenhouse has been slow.  We've had unexpected bursts of snowstorms this past month and the ground is just beginning its thaw.  I would imagine that Dennis is planning to start moving some of the seedlings out into the ground by the end of the month once the threat of frost has passed.  One of the goats is scheduled to give birth at the beginning of May and I would love to be there for that.  The hanging geraniums have bloomed and its almost farm stand time.
