This is a good time for a walk. Maybe I can see one of the wild turkeys I have been listening to this morning.
Becoming a farmer on a piece of vacant land in Northern Wisconsin, is my dream. We've been out here 9 years and Nature has had the upper hand so far. How do I describe a place with summer freezes, droughts, thick sod, weeds, bad bugs, winds, long winters and incredible Sunrises? Now we start the new seasons in the garden, the woodshop, and the Wilderness. 2016 will be the best yet!

Slow Spring
Here I am excited about 2 nights in a row when it didnt freeze. Well, except it was freezing this morning, so I am thinking it is plodding progress not a leap into summer. The May flowers are out in the woods and it is so pretty to be walking up there. Sometimes we step on a leek and you can smell the onion...... The aspeargus is coming up. So Spring is here. The farmers here are starting to till and disc and plow so I started tilling up some ground too. The soil is dry enough and the frost is deep enough that it seemed to be fine. So today I will do some more tilling. We have to move the egg layer chicken to a new spot so I will get that ready next. There are just so many jobs to do. I have to stop and think. I am not a working machine. Maybe now I can plan the next 3 weeks, make a schedule and do work and play in a balanced way. I have all wonderful things to do and it will be just fine.
