Hello Friends!  HAPPY SPRING!!  I'm already claiming that time is flying, and it's only been spring for two weeks!  I just arrived at the farm yesterday , April 1, after a lovely winter break with Joe in Bethlehem.  It will be tough being away from my best friend/ husband, but we're both motivated to get the farm growing again.  Both of our female dogs are staying with me at the farm, the male with Joe.   The girls are already earning their keep scaring away voles and rabbits!  
    I'm happy to report that we have a camper now at the farm.  It's great to have a weather tight place to do office work, store food, and sleep.  Last year my tenting adventures were spoiled twice by hailstorms, whereby I bailed ice balls/water off of the tent before setting it back up, at night!  I also have a laptop now, so I need to be vigiliant about caring for it.  I am hard on equipment, in case you didn't know!  The camper is our office, and definitely a welcome addition to our operation.   Last night was our first night staying in the camper.  It was very windy, but not bad curled up with two dogs under the covers!   
    I met the Madison County Ag Economic Devleopement Specialist yesterday in Morrisville.  Becca is awesome-dynamic, informed, and passionate.  We had an impromptu meeting that was full of inspiration.  I look forward to working with her.  She has been applying for and receiving grants for several programs in our county.  I'm glad to have her on our team. 
   Seed starting is foremost on my mind, both in flats, and under low tunnels.  Ah, seed dreams are lovely.  Lots of tweaking to be done to the equipment to make it perfect.    See you soon,    Beck
