Spring and Fruit trees

This horrible drought we've had has killed the neighbors 2 peach trees. Possible one of my cherry plums and half to one-third of my pear. So this weekend we bought a peach and nectarine tree! We had to stop there because we were in.the.car!! So we will be going back this next weekend for a couple more trees. Like a plum and maybe apple. Now I know it usually takes 2 each to pollinate, but there is a peach orchard (or used to be when the boys around elementary age) down the road here. These are self pollinators. There were lime and mandarin orange trees too. I was SO tempted by those! We eat/use those a ton.

We've been here 4yrs/5 Christmases now. There have been a lot of changes. Especially this year, mainly by weather and wear. So. This year we are going to try and fix some of it. One at a time.

What does Spring mean to you

Around here my chickens start hiding their eggs. Sometimes we end up with baby chicks other times a pile of rotten eggs under the porch like right now :/ The neighbors have little hopping baby goats and calves. And our grass seems to grow a foot a day! I love driving down our road and watching the wheat grow and the animals romp.

For now the air is cool. Maybe another week. Then the it's hot!
