Well, Spring Was in the Air...


Dad always said you could hear the suitcase latches snapping shut when the East Coast was having snow and the sun was shining in California. The poor folks in Boston were getting pounded...again while our almonds were blooming.
   It has been nice and we have been getting some chores done, like painting equipment, that we normally cannot get done this time of year.

While hate to complain---I really wish the almonds wouldn't bloom this early. There is still bad weather ahead and our little almond blossoms are tender. If it gets cold the bees won't fly. If it gets wet, fungus and mold will try to kill those blossoms before we really get going.


But, here we are. It has been nice. We will adapt, innovate and overcome when the weather changes.

Meanwhile, we will be replanting some trees this week. The onions should get planted...finally. If it stays dry we will start working cotton beds in a week, It is only five or six weeks until planting time...depending on the weather.

I hope you all have a great week.
