Around the Homestead

Well sweet friends, it has been quite some time, hasn't it? I must admit that blogging is not currently at the top of my priority list, though I'd like it to fall back into the rotation.  So today, as I sit in the waiting room while one of my children has a dental appointment, I'll give a photo update of the last few months around the homestead.  Sound good?

Image

My sweet boy turned two.  TWO!

Image

Image

Trampoline bliss has returned!

Image

Image

Our well has failed (again) and been fixed.  Once and for all.... We hope. 

Image

Image

A tiny office/art studio nears completion!

Image

Image

And the new mobile chicken palace approaches completion and its maiden voyage as well!

Image

An enthusiastic and fascinated little guy I know has very much enjoyed all the construction going on around these parts.

Image

Image

Bees are flying!  And collecting!  And pollinating! 

Image
Apple

Image
Magnolia

Image
Elder Berry

Image
Big Leaf Maple
Trees are blooming all over the homestead!

Image

Image

Image

Image

Sun showers are a regular thing these days and make the tulips sparkle like jewels....

Image

Image

Image

The pasture is growing strong!  It's knee-high to some, and chest high to others.

Image
Strawberry blossoms

Image
garlic

Image
keeper onions

Image
snap peas

Image
shelling peas

Image
gooseberries

Image
butterhead lettuce

Image
red huckleberries

Image
kale

Image
asparagus 

Image
rhubarb 

And the gardens are breaking dormancy, sprouting and growing!  Hooray!

I hope that wherever you are life is treating you well, your hearts are full of love and your days full of smiles.  I also hope that you enjoyed this update of life on our little homestead.  Blessings!
