Double R Farm (Amish Country Soaps & Sundries)

I've been meaning to blog, but there seems to be an endless amount of work to be done on the farm. This is truly one of the busiest times of the year. With the tilling, planting, and constant weeding it's no wonder I haven't had time to blog. It is though one of my favorite times of year. A time when in the midst of all the activity I can take a few minutes to stop and smell the flowers. As I am cleaning the beds of the many perennials we grow, I can smell some of the sweetest spring flowers ever.

  There is a part of me misses the cold winter days that kept me indoors, and gave me more time to blog and catch up on other things. Now it's up before the sun, and outdoors as soon as the sun peaks over the horizon.  Then it's off to work, and outside again until the sun sets. Life seems so incredibly busy just now.  I wish I could tuck a few extra hours into each new day.I assume that once we have had enough warm weather and we've gotten caught up (hah!) the need to be outside will  not be as strong. The good news is ....it wil be well worth the work when the flowers are in full bloom, and we can begin to harvest the wholesome veggies that we've raised.

Just now the spring garden is getting the benefits of a gentle rain. The strawberries are blooming and a host of irises will be soon.

Until the next time-happy gardening!
