Spring into Summer

It's still spring, but it's starting to feel like summer already. We've already had 90 degree temps, although it's still in the 50s at night. We think we can plant tomatoes and peppers this weekend. Two months ago, it was still fire season.

The plum trees were really beautiful lit up at night.

Isn't Catherine's hat cute with the little flowers on it?

We had hyacinths and forsythia blooming in mid Feb.

I got the lettuce row transplanted in mid March.

And by then the tomatoes were getting huge.

Also, March 15th we got this year's chicks. These are Golden Star (or sex-link). They were in the tap room in a big box for three weeks, but I moved them to the hen house today.

The new tractor is almost done.

I got the basil started a bit late, 3-26, but I had to wait for room in the plant area.

Rick dons his spectacles. He's feeling gnomish...

Meanwhile, off the farm, we went to a couple shows at Sierra Nevada, and celebrated the release of Summerfest. I just loved the light on these tanks. Golden tanks filled with delicious golden beer. This is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!

We went the to Rivenoak Fools Tourney.

Keith was the King of Misrule.

We also saw Old Spice play the Women's Club, as a tribute to Doc.

And I'm very happy with my 30th anniversary present! It's so big and shiny!
