It’s that time of year again.
We are currently building raised garden beds, planting in the beds, building more beds, planting in the beds.
All the while, we are milking goats and milking the cow.
That of course, creates more work, since we have to make cheese, butter, sour cream, ice cream, yogurt and freeze milk.
And of course, we have to feed the animals 2 – 3 times a day and check their water. Plus, we have to feed the bees sugar syrup so that they will ramp up in numbers and make wax. And we have to feed them pollen so the queen will lay more eggs.
And we have to plant more bee-friendly trees, flowers, clover. Plus we have to prune the fruit trees (Sam and I have done most of them already), and repair the driveway, finish remodeling the porch, clean up and spruce up the house.
And on and on and on…
But we get to eat the honey, and the fruit, and the cheeses, yogurt, sour cream, ice cream, and drink the milk and eat the veggies, and berries.
And we get to share it with friends and family…
Kind of makes it all worth while…
