Farming

I managed to get through the whole season eating only our store of potatoes from the garden because of the generous offerings of sweet potatoes from two other gardeners.  
I love it when I can go from harvest to planting and still have a few potatoes left in storage.
Home grown potatoes, even the old ones in their slightly shriveled state, are far superior then the kind that come in a plastic bag.
I am really ready to get my hands in the soil and planting potatoes is just the thing to get the season rolling.

In a fit of gratitude, I made a list of the things I loved about my life the other day.  
I managed eight solid things, none were frivolous; and one prompted the whole exercise: I love warm February days.  
This beautiful February day set into motion a very productive weekend.  
It felt so good to get some good old-fashioned garden clean up done with my husband by my side and the sheep grazing freely about.  
It makes you feel optimistic about the rest of your life.
