We're Baaaaack!

Wow!

It feels as if I have been away for such a long time.

I am so accustomed to visiting with you here and also

to catching up on my favorite blogs each day with my breakfast.

And though I missed you all,

I have to say,

I had a ball.

We were here....

Yes, we took a vacation...

away from the farm.

We packed up our family

and headed to the beach for a week.

While we enjoyed the sun and sand and surf

and made new friends,

a small army was keeping the farm going.

And I have to tell you....

although we had a blast,

it is great to be home!!

I could hardly wait to pay a visit to.....

where I found produce (and weeds) to be plentiful!

Daily watering and lots of sun has made our garden explode!

We are in a deluge of green beans, sugar peas, peppers, broccoli, carrots

and onions.

The hot, sunny weather has pushed the tomatoes right into juicy redness

and we have been eating a couple each day....

just a taste of what is yet to come.

I harvested our box of yellow onions yesterday

and they are in the greenhouse drying.

Today I will plant beets in that empty box.

Almost perfect weather conditions have helped my one lone

bee hive to prosper.  We have been adding supers every few weeks

as the bees are producing oodles of honey in this hive.

This week is going to be an exciting one around the farm....

I can't wait to share it with you!

Hint....there is a special delivery package at the post office this morning

that I will be picking up!

Hmmm.....wonder what it is????
