Let the Germination Begin!

A little bit of rain and a little bit of snow leaves a lot of ice underfoot. But the ducks and hens get to enjoy their snow, rain, and ice free runs while I slip and slide around ensuring they have plenty of food and water!

Even while it is drab outside, the flats of seeds are greening up inside and there will be lots more to come over the next weeks. I try to give each one a little boost of encouragement which gets harder the faster they come.

Some of the smaller construction projects get done, just as more get started, and the last of the dried flowers are getting made into some early Valentines/Galentines bouquets!

A bit of fresh snow makes the Rainbow Huts look bright and cheerful amid the winter gloom!

Tiny pops of green are appearing on some of the first trays that were sown! These are Sweet Williams getting an early start to a long season of blooms!

The Delphiniums are starting to send up their first true leaves so they can soak up as much light as possible from the LEDs.

With no ponds around what is a Drake to do but rub a dub dub in the tub

Another hut has graced the farm with it's presence but it holds no clucks or quackers, only a tidy place for the generator so sit idly by until I need it.

Some new Everlasting Bouquets to share with your everlasting sweetheart are available in the store this week and more will be added next week as well!

Sunday mornings are spent sipping a strong cup of tea propped up under warm covers while the refueled wood stove brings the cabin to a comfortable temperature while I enter the weeks receipts, except sometimes Hella takes offense and claims all the delightfully crumple-able receipts for herself!

Recipes for Food Eaters

After all the hearty winter stews, sometimes you want a lighter dish. This one still features the seasonal winter squash but has some grains (feel free to use any other grain if you don't have quinoa) and the refreshing kick of microgreens.
The lightweight dressing adds the zest and flavor to get you through until spring!
