                         SPRING PLANTING HAS BEGUN

As seen above spring planting has begun! It's always so nice to see the fields getting disced, cultivated and planted. Here Kim is just finishing up planting corn in the dog leg of the field. The big field you see to the right is also corn and the one behind the tractor is oats seeded down with hay for next year.

The veggie garden was finished planting this morning and once the garlic comes out in July then I will do a 2nd planting of beets and carrots to carry us into the fall. One bed of sweet corn is in and will plant the next 2 a couple of weeks apart to stretch out the harvest. With the warmer weather this past week everything should get a good start but boy we could sure use some rain! 

               

                  Our last foal for the season arrived April 26th, a filly (girl) we named Charley!

The family pup likes to check on the new babies.

Swarm of bees in our maple tree!

While cutting grass today we observed a lot of bees buzzing and it turns out they were in the midst of a swarm! After about a half hour they formed together in this tree. Needless to say I DID NOT cut any more grass near this area. (Lol)

                                      I am once again having troubles getting the photo's and

the words to line up the way I like so apologies for the gaps of white page at times. It maybe has something to do with the lateness of the hour that I seem to be working at to get blog done. After all I am quite late with it this month!

Horses, Belgian, Mule, Percheron and Fjord are all out on full pasture now and they look so lovely roaming free on the hillside.

The new seeds (hay) from last year are growing really well (see photo below) and with the recent heat  these last couple of weeks of May. We have been most fortunate to have 2 great weeks of planting weather and if it's not to much to ask we will hope for a couple of great Hay making weeks in June - fingers crossed!

New seeds ( Hay )

Well I always have good intentions to write a lot more but the lateness of the hour is catching up with me. 

I will leave you with a photo of Presley - on the move. He is a 1 year old gelding that will hopefully be making his way to the Fall Futurity in 2022. 


Until next time,

Jeanne & Kim
