We still have to wear coats. It’s been such a roller-coaster of weather this Spring.
Last week we had 81* weather —it was so hot it felt like August.
Now this week we have had two nights of freezing and below freezing with sorta kinda warmer days.
We are pretty much done with prep-work on the fields we are going to plant. We are letting 60% of the farm set. Water is a very scarce thing this year.
That sounds like it will take away lots of the work—but, no, we have to work harder at keeping the fields we have planted wet.
Oh, well, what we have is still a blessing.

A tad cool is good. It’s only the beginning of April. Does Terry plant by the moon? Or is that definitely a “what my grandfather did” thing.

No we plant by the field soil. 🙂

The wind is just raw here. No pretty Spring coats…just parkas and stocking hats!

I didn’t realize that Tennessee weather had invaded Colorado. We had frost last night — and ares expected to be in the 80s this weekend.
