Spring Break

I have really been looking forward to Spring Break.  When you share your days with school teachers and students you anticipate the vacations just like they do.  I was sick for the entire Winter Break...really sick.   So now we have Spring Break and I hightailed it to the Cabin where I immediately got sick!  This time from the fireplace! The chimney needs to be swept ( I'll get that done week after next).  I almost offed myself from carbon monoxide poisoning and this is the SECOND time I've done that!  A few years ago our pellet stove was leaking and I got sick.   My 10 day cabin vacation was cut way too short and now I'm home working in the garden...where I should be anyway...lots to do there!

Soon We'll Have Strawberries

And Artichokes!

I'm managing the Farmers Market again this year.  I plan on offering eggs, tomatoes, watermelon and lots of sweet corn.  My son has planted several large plots for me and we've staggered the plantings so we'll get a nice long season...he just received another shipment of corn from Johnny's that will go in next week.  California has passed the Cottage Food Act and I'll have honey, bread and soft pretzels to offer, too.
