We started work on the cement ditches. Picking up the stacked tubes and placing them in every furrow, cleaning the ditches of trash and mud, and building the dams. Later on this morning we will start water. It will be a jumble of rushed minutes to stay ahead of the rushing, gurgling, bubbling, water—-crazy minutes to get the syphon tubes started and to make sure the water doesn’t run over the sides to ruin the farm ground.
In first light there was a peaceful little star, shining forth so bright I had to take a photo
While at the very same time that gorgeous April Moon was swiftly descending in the deep azure sky.
The trees were just coming to life with the sound of birds…
The sky in the east burning was off, as the setting silvered moon light splashed peacefully on our on the farm, striping the ground with a drifting dust of white glitter.
From my world to your heart,

We had a lovely moon last night here in South East England. Having discovered your blog I so enjoy the photos of your farm. Best wishes

It is the beginning. You can type in search and put in Step One Irrigation and I think the whole process will start to emerge…step 2. etc.

That was a “little” star?!! 😉 Cool! The Strawberry moon is beautiful, we had a lovely big Full Moon here, lighting up the pitch black wonderfully. The local council is penny pinching and started turning off all the street lights at midnight. It is very, very dark then and very eerie when you’re outside when they go off…like one global click and all the lights go out! Our Full Moon was very silvery but I was grateful for that last night! 🙂

The switching off of street lights at midnight gives me the hibby gibbies too! I have just signed a petition and left a scathing comment with it for the local council! You have to look over your shoulder at night as it is…now you can’t even see over your shoulder!!

What a beautiful post LInda… I Felt the still early morning as dawn began to break, and heard the birds beginning their dawn chorus… in spite of the hard work, to be up and awake to all that beauty must be a very sweet and poignant experience… XXXX

I saw the moon this morning at 2:30. It bathed me in light and woke me. So here I am, trying to catch up. Hope the irrigation prep goes well.
