Baby seedlings on the sand tables, spring is coming!
…You would have been “blown away” at the wind gusts we had! Our home weather station says our top wind speed was 37 mph!!! On Sunday afternoon, we were gathering for devotions, when we heard it coming… great big gusts came whooshing down the mountains, over our farm, taking everything loose (or remotely loose!) with it! “OH NO!! It’s going to blow the trash can, horse trough, Etc. away!” So we hurried to grab our gear, coats, boots, gloves, running masks (hey, it was windy and raining, and I didn’t want my face pelted and whipped with cold wind and wet rain!:)) etc. and went out into the breezy weather to secure everything… including but not limited to: strapping the greenhouse doors to the greenhouse to avoid further damage ( these tall sliding doors are not meant to swing away from the greenhouse, just conveniently along the front), grabbing that sheet of fly-away plastic sheeting that came from… where?, and opening the barn for the cows to come in (a special privilege they get for less-than-nice weather). It is Monday now, and still windy. Some of todays projects were: re=securing the strawberries cover, and getting the first seedlings of the year all cozied in the propagation greenhouse! Here is a fun excerpt from our county’s 911 center… they always come up with humorous weather warnings:)
WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT: HOLD ONTO YOUR WIGS & TRASH CANS!
If you stepped outside and immediately regretted it, you’re not alone. A Wind Advisory is in effect until 10 PM tonight, so expect gusts strong enough to make you reconsider wearing a hat… or walking small dogs. If your trash can is missing, check with your neighbors—or three counties over.
So we are late posting this, but better late than never! If you want any yogurt, broth or cottage cheese this week get your orders in quickly before we are sold out! Have a blessed week!
