Double R Farm (Amish Country Soaps & Sundries)

Yesterday the day began with howling winds barreling across the pastures. It was a brisk wind, one that cleanses the atmosphere while it tosses around everything in its path. The early morning songs of the peepers and birds were almost all but drowned out by the roaring wind, but if you listened carefully you could still hear them.

Today, we were teased by snow as Mother Nature tries to make up her mind. Will it be winter or spring? We are tempted to plant, but know that we could still be in for some more winter weather. In our area we usually plant peas and potatoes on St. Patricks Day along with some other cold weather crops. We are tempted though to grab the pitchfork and start a little sooner.

 The winds of change have also swept through our lives and at times have thrown us off balance. We steady ourselves as best we can, and set our sights on this years' harvest and the promise it brings. Though the winds may howl we are thankfully reminded that some things will never change.
