Another new toy hmmm maybe not a toy

It must be spring!!!!. When they put up this fence we lost some garden space. So we have thought about enlarging the garden. Not as easy as it sounds.

Grandpa and I came home from a doctor's appointment yesterday to find Baxter struggling with a front tine tiller of a friend. Trudy, Baxter, Grandpa and I piled into Trudy's truck and went to True Value in Leonard Town and bought this tiller.

Here Baxter had already finished the garden spot and had tried to open up more area by taking out some grass. You can't see but on the other side of the fence is a tree. The roots are very shallow here and I think you would have to take a ax to them to get rid of them so you could garden. So maybe we will have less garden this year.

I have already started tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, watermelon, and crenshaw and have them in the sun room waiting to have them spout. I guess that is what spring does for you.

I love spring. On the farm I loved to go see the new colts, new little calves with their mothers, watch the alfalfa green up, the grain and the grass turn green. I love the smell of the good earth, the crocus, daffodils and the iris blooming. It starts to warm up and my body warms up also. What a wonderful season of the year!!!!!!
