A Time of Contentment—Monday, March 21, 2016

Yesterday was the first day of Spring. The first day that the daylight hours are longer than the night time hours.

My beloved Maternal Grandmother…used to say that when spring time starts the world lies in a balance between dark and light.

(Terry is rolling down the plowed fields today)

Call me strange, but I swear I can feel the earth shifting and stirring beneath my feet as the air changes.The change hums in my blood, the blood of the plants and the animals. Bringing contentment and joy.I just achieved my 9th year of blogging on Sunday. 9 years of being friends with you.

Thank you everyone!

Happy Spring!

Terry finished ripping the old pinto bean ground. Old pinto bean ground doesn’t have to disked, plowed, rolled, and leveled, it only has to be ripped and rolled and then marked.

(He is using the ripper here.)

Terry will finish rolling it today, then he (and I) will continue work on the transmission ditch. This our main ditch from the head gate to our whole farm —it is where we are laying pipe so the work load can shrink. Just like moving everything to your computer the upfront work is hard, but after that everything is a breeze.

Putting the main ditch in pipe, underground will help with the loss of water from evaporation the slew of weeds that love having an unlimited supply of water, and HIP HIP HOORAY keeping the trash out of the rest of the ditches.

Oh, there will still be some trash, because THE WIND DOTH BLOW IN OUR PART OF COLORADO, but it will shrink considerably!
