Week #20 - Love and Haiku


Seeds sown, wind blew hard
Love: a pair of apples trees
We need a good rain

A haiku to describe the week... 


We got much of the direct seeding done earlier in the week.

More leafy greens, peas, carrots, beets, and peas. The fields are dry... very dry. It's a bit like seeding into gravel! 



Our greenhouse is full to bursting and we planned to start moving plants outside and into the field but the wind blew like crazy today! With all the dust in the air, it looked like a giant dust storm.  Hoping that tonight will bring rain and tomorrow will have no wind. 


Today marks our twenty-third wedding anniversary. To celebrate, Farmer Phil and I went out and bought each other a pair of apple trees which we planted out back. Perhaps unconventional.... but that's us!

A Spring Haiku


FFF Photo a Day - Day 70 

Some of our first seedlings are up, stretching towards the sunlight. 

To celebrate, I offer you a spring haiku: 

Planting has begun,
Seeds germinate in the sun,
A sure sign of spring.

Chicken Haiku



FFF Photo a Day - Day 54

My mind was wandering as I washed today's eggs... as a result, I present to you a chicken haiku (apologies in advance): 

Our hens lay them all, 
brown, white, beige, speckled, large, small.
They are all yummy!
