17 Mai, Norway's Independents Day.
Well, it is not the 17th, but in Norge it is. I long home every year for this Day. Some day I will take my family and go home for this Day.
Lambing and kidding is winding down, not great results, so we are finding new bucks for next year. But lots of cute little once.
Our daughter and I tilled part of the small North garden, so tomorrow night we will put compost on, and shape the raised beds. Then I plan to cover it in black plastic for a few days, and then plant. I am planting a 3 sisters garden early this year. Corn, squash and beans together. I plan on using Scarlett runner beans, summer squash and early corn. This plot will be right by our drive way, so the red flowers can be enjoyed. Then I think peas, more early squash, onions, leek, some tomatoes, under plastic, and here we go.
This is the last work week at school for me, so work really begins next Monday. I usually run 14 hr days, so I think you understand what I mean.
