When Frost Comes Late in Spring...  

Remember those beautiful little wisteria buds? 

 ...Or how about those first blueberry  blossoms?

Peaches?

     Yep. What happens often happened again here on Uphill Farm---Frost later in the Spring, after many plants have begun to bud out or tiny leaves have formed, or blossoms bloomed!  I was just saying to my husband the other day that we should probably concentrate on things that usually thrive here despite the frosts;  like the honey, goats, blueberries, and hopefully in future, fish. 

     Baby chicks are due to arrive around April 20th " )  Looking forward to that. It's time for me to do some fertilizing of the spring garden, and try to fit in grooming/bathing of the shedding horses soon too.  The past few days the girls and I have been helping my parents ready their home for sale, so it's been running back and forth. I'd like to do something out in the front of the house as far as flowers go...We'll see about doing something soon as I think we will be hosting Resurrection Sunday dinner here in a few days. Also, my oldest daughter's sweetie from Kentucky, my Aunt and Uncle from Illinois, and my sister from Ohio will be coming soon to visit. 

      

This has been the cats' favorite napping spot lately " )  Won't they get a surprise when the chicks arrive!

     

 

Take care until next time!
