Welcome spring!

We are welcoming the spring weather and are happy to be finally rid of the snow. Last week was some crazy weather, but we still had a great time!

We visited the beach and were so lucky to find the sun and then two days later were making a snowman (really it was a snow bunny) in our back yard. All in all, a very resting spring break for our family.

In farm news, Richard attended an all day meeting/class at a Biodynamic farm in Junction City and came home revived and hopeful. He's familiar with these methods and their success after spending time at a large Biodynamic farm on the east coast. We've moved into a space of taking a longer view of our farming plan and are working to incorporate lasting, sustainable practices that work not only on a biological level, but support our lifestyle as well.

That said, we've got seed starts going and have been collecting soil implements based on soil studies we had completed last year. We're also planning another pumpkin patch this fall!

In pottery news, I've spent many hours the past few weeks throwing pots and playing with clay. Still working out the kinks with regard to back pain, but suggestions and advice are plentiful on blogs and forums on the web. No photos of any pots yet...I'll take some and post them next time around.
