Spring has Sprung

Today was the first day in Kansas that the weather was beautiful, in the 70's, the sun was shining and the wind wasn't blowing us away. It was truly a perfect day to be outside. I mowed for the first time this spring. Cleaned up the garden beds and added some natural fertilizer. The farmers were burning nearby so the air was a little smoky, but gardening season has officially begun.

We put in a pear and a cherry tree this year. They are doing well. Now, if I can just keep the goats from eating them up!
