I live on a sustainable family farm and work for a humanitarian aid organization. My goal is to have a simple beautiful life. The Quaker acronym SPICE (simplicity, peace, integrity, community, and equality) guides my life.
We were scheduled to attend a North Carolina Cooperative Extension school today. The topics were high tunnels (aka hoop houses or unheated greenhouses) and asparagus. The weather forecast was for a bit a snow last night, turning to rain this morning. However, when I looked outside last night and saw the ground covered with snow, I knew we were probably in for more than the prediction. Here's what we saw this morning:
So, instead of driving to North Carolina, we did a bit of this:
Doesn't Mr. Fabulous look confident and relaxed?
Despite the weather not always cooperating, we were productive this week. We attended a vendors' meeting at the farmers' market and put in a request for a particular spot. We were told if we don't get that spot, we'll get the one next to it. We also made a couple of deliveries of eggs, now that the girls are laying again. Bill started prepping the raised beds and I worked on aprons and a few other crafts for a spring craft show next month. Have a great weekend!
