They gave us free chicken today at the end of our shift. Yay!

Here is a picture of my small vineyard, and my large garden in the making…
It’s a happy place because while working on it in between all of the rains, I get to train my kids to use the exact same tools like post hole digger’s and rock bars, that I used when I was their age with my dad. I sort of inherited his tools when I lost him last year to a nasty disease....and using them takes me back in time over 30 years, away from the stress of this life.

I enjoyed telling them to grab a hold of these post hole digger’s, and put them to work, they have not only your dad’s but your grandpa’s blood and sweat on them.

It’ll be a year since his death in just under two weeks… So lately this has been my getaway each evening...between the almost nonstop rains

Not sure if this phone shot is visible.

Very nice. My vine is out of control. I was going to prune it this winter but the temp was fluctuating too much plus it was raining all the time I didn't want to give an opportunity for rot.

My other vine dies every winter and grows back every spring/summer. Weird.

That's wonderful that you are sharing the memories, and experiences with your children. Gardening is something children do not want to do, but later on in life, they appreciate it. I was one of those kids who hated to weed... but now... I have a large garden, and I enjoy just being outside, tending to it. I am looking forward to putting my garden in, but won't be able to do that here until about the end of May, first of June. However, I am about to start seeds in my greenhouse. It is always an exciting time of year!

Did you build your greenhouse? If so can you tell us how you did it?
