Bloom Where You're Planted Farm

I like to document the changes of the seasons here at Bloom Where You're Planted Farm.  Here is photographic proof that spring has arrived!

Jasper and Emmett are enjoying the warm weather from atop their climbing tower.  They've grown a TON since last fall and are starting to shed their thick winter coats.

The gourd garden is cleaned up and ready for this summer's crop.  Notice Sully in the distance, wondering what I'm up to now, and if I have anything to eat...

Last fall's gourds are drying nicely.  It will still be another month or two until they're completely cured.

Frannie discovered a tiny snake sunning himself on the warm cement.

Yee-Haw!  We're finally going to get back to normal temperatures this week, in the low to mid-30s!  Before the melting starts I wanted to share some photos following our third major snowstorm of the winter.  We were finally able to get out on Saturday afternoon, and just going to the mini-mart in our small town was a treat!  

Our "Knight in John Deere Armor", my Dad, who rescued us with his tractor and loader.  Thanks, Dad!

Our weather has been cold, rainy, and downright gloomy the past few days.  It was a welcome surprise when one of our pumpkin patch customers Deanne emailed some photos of her kids visiting the pumpkin patch last fall.  I remember their family well, because Terry sold his prized "butt pumpkin", a true natural wonder, to their teenage son.  It was hard for Terry to part with his treasure, but having been a teenage boy himself he knew the pumpkin was going to a good home.

The first photo is one I took of the prized pumpkin with its new owner.  The next two photos were taken by Deanne, and show their two girls on the nature trail and the pumpkin in its new home.   

 Ahhh, the fond memories of fall!!!
