FENCE ME IN.

We made a trip to the farm on Friday, because how could we not?  The forecast called for sunny and ridiculously warm!  I love it, but it's also a little bit scary to think: is this weather the new normal? IS February going to be a part of the growing season soon? Farmers everywhere are saying goodbye to their winter vacations... I guess I'm not exactly complaining, though––55 degrees in February is a pretty pleasant treat, and it gave us great opportunity to knock out a little project!After a super-healthy breakfast, we started the process of fencing in the garden, digging some post holes and setting up the corners.  It is nice to be able to visualize the garden...to stand at the edge and really SEE it!  With the corner posts up, we now just have to finish the fence with some gridded wire - to keep out the bunnies and deer and other such undesirables.  This was a small project, but it was pretty psychologically big!  We spent the rest of the day playing with worms we found (a really good sign for the soil!) and planning out our greenhouse and chicken yard.  Now we are relaxing, looking forward to a weekend of sports.  UK plays tonight, and of course, on Sunday...the Puppy Bowl!What are you plans for the Big Game?- Jesse.
