Happy Easter Everyone!

Do you remember when I said the almonds would grow fast once they bloomed?
Six weeks ago the trees were just starting to blossom and here they are now!

It's been another busy week on the farm. The wheat has been watered and fertilized again. The trees have been watered. We hand fertilized the young trees and then watered them. So far it looks like every tree has sprouted. They are off to a good start.
   We have had everything from frost and wind to warm and sunny. The weather is warm enough to tempt us to plant cotton this next week. It is supposed to be warm the beginning of the week, cooler and rainy later in the week.
   We'll take it one day at a time. There is no point planting when it's too cold.
For now we have seed, the planter, tractors and equipment are ready. We can wait for the right conditions.

I'll keep it short this week. The holiday we celebrate is much more important than my meanderings. Just wanted to give you a quick update on the farm.
I hope Y'all have a fabulous Easter!
