Well, we didn’t go anywhere. The bean ground became ready so that was that.
We took two little day-trips, one to the city to buy Gluten-free products, and one to the Uncompahgre Plateau (called 25 Mesa by the locals). And I finished planting the gardens.
Anyway, if any of you ever buy Red Donkey Pinto Beans, you just may have bought some of our beans! It is for sure that you will have purchased beans from Colorado, for the beanery is just four miles from our house.
Everything we plant is now planted and Terry even got the beans Mormon creased today. The oats are up, and soon the new alfalfa will be showing its baby leaves.
Once we start cutting alfalfa we will know summer is here. Not long now.

Yay! You planted beans. And your friends will be the recipients of said beans, right? Pretty please.

Goodness knows I would LOVE to get my hands on a bag of beans that big AND from your farm!! We go through a lot of them, but haven’t found where to get them in bulk out here!
Sorry you didn’t get your trip in. I guess that is life. Hope you were at least refreshed by your day trips!
Take care.

Well, I guess it was a blessing that the ground was ready and all came together for planting (o: Glad you got in a few day trips. Who needs the gluten free products? I have a friend that has to cook that way for her hubby and another gal in my Bible study that does too. I have some strange red blisters that won’t go away, so I thought I should look on the internet. I have been to the Dr. and he doesn’t know what the problem is.

It is so hard to get away from farming. I wish for you more free time in the near future, although I know it will be hard to find until the weather is so cold and ugly that a short trip is silly and a long trip expensive. Enjoy the spring however you have to spend it! And we will enjoy the beans.

Great looking bag of beans! My Dad has celiac sprue, so my Mom cooks and bakes gluten free for him. I am hoping I never get it, it is hereditary, I love potato bread toast in the norning..rice bread is so strange..but it keeps Dad alive. Sorry your little vacation didn’t work out, but it sounds like you were pretty busy! 🙂

😦 A shame you didn’t get to go anywhere. Since I’ve moved to KS and we don’t really know anyone out here, we won’t be going anywhere together… I mean, who the heck do you get to take care of 3 horses, 3 dogs, and 3 cats??!! LOL
But that’s ok, the trade-offs to live here are well worth it. It’s our own lil paradise away from the rest of the world.
