We Opened Our Ditches and Started the Water —- Wednesday, April 1, 2026

Another humongous job.  All that trash had to be hand-lifted out of all the ditches before the water could flow evenly and smoothly onto the farm.

We did it!  The work was exhausting and satisfying, all wrapped up in one.

We are there!  The ground is terribly dry and extremely hard in spots.  Hard enough, it’s shiny.

Although I must say—it did smell good as the water hit the soil — a smell divine.

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Linda

  1. Lulu: “Our Dada says he can imagine that water in the dirt smell!”Java Bean: “Ayyy, he was pulling weeds in the yard this weekend before they could make nasty spiky seed heads and the ground is rock hard here now too! Guess he should’ve done it a few weeks ago …”
