Good evening from Uphill Farm!

We've had a pretty good day although it was grey and cool and damp. I won't be complaining about the wetness however, because we have had several years of drought here and can use the rain :-)

You can see some of our young blueberry bushes there in the forefront of this picture. I spy little tufts of greenness beginning to peek through the brown grass now as I walk the property-A sign that soon the days will become sunny and warm. I had better make good use of these last few days to finish pruning stuff. We've got blue, black, and raspberries, peaches, apples, plum, and pears. I've already pruned the persimmons. 

The palm that I brought in for the winter has begun to bloom! I was so surprised! Unfortunately the first head of blossoms snapped at the stem because the pod would not open all the way. Then I discovered that there were several more blossoms forming.

I placed the blossom into sugar water hoping it would continue to bloom and develop--and it did seem to mature some, even putting off a unique fragrance :-)
Also, I'm happy to report that I started my day off healthier by drinking a large glass of warm lemon/cayenne water, and beginning a new stretch/exercise program with my daughter. We are also reading one of the Screwtape Letters together every morning. I have missed doing something with her for awhile, as our lives have been sort of discombobulated for a sec : 0
I'd better sign off for now. More to share about our meal planning and Spring cleaning coming soon!
