Sunflowers and rockets

Feels like a slow start in the farming end of things this year. But then I consider that it's not even the middle of March and realize, we're doing just fine! Still on track for the pumpkin patch and plenty of good veggies.

Anna and I planted sunflowers, dill, thyme and oregano this week and are waiting for the little buggers to pop up. Richard has been working on grafting some new apple and pear trees and has sketched out some ideas for a patio area and greenhouse location.

In other news, we're looking into preschool for next fall for Anna. She's excited about going to "big girl school" and playing with kids. (This has also served as a great incentive for potty training.)

With the time change we are all loving the chance to be outside more in the evenings. Richard has been practicing archery and Anna is convinced that she needs her own set of "rockets" (arrows). I suspect the Easter Bunny will deliver.
