Rainbows and Golden Eggs

It's March and the Irish Rainbows are already arching over the farm. Our favorite golden nuggets at this time of year are the increase in egg production.

All of the colorful eggs are so delicious and new to our cache is the creamy white and brown speckled egg: a turkey egg! There is always something new happening on the farm!

Roses Everywhere

Spring rains have been very good to the roses. Epsom salt helps the blooms too. Now that most of our time is spent outside in this busy season, every bush we walk past has a different and beautiful fragrance. Take a deep breath, you are sure to smell them!

Apple Blossom Time

Apple blossoms are so pretty and you smell them before you see them. Here is one from a Jonathan Apple tree. The pinks are deeper and the whites are creamy.

These lacy white and pale, pale pink blossoms come from our Grandmother Tree. This old tree is over 80 years old. It produces two types of apples. One of them is a gravenstein and the other is a yellow transparent. They both have a delicious old time flavor and are good for fresh eating, drying, juicing, pies, and applesauce.

The old barn and Grandmother Tree have been here since 1930. Oh, the tales they could tell ~
