Weather: Tuesday’s rain resulted in about two inches of accumulated rainfall, and, while Wednesday stayed pretty gray all day, Thursday dawned sunny and beautiful. We’ll be back in the field by Friday night or early Saturday if the weather holds.
What We Did: In the midst of all the tilling and planting and harvesting, we put together most of our summer crew over the past week. High school and college students will be filtering onto the farm over the next three weeks to bulk up our labor force in time for the big push into the full summer season.
Noted: We saw a bluebird outside the office window on Wednesday morning. Three blue herons have been flying around the farm quite frequently. Kim sighted two mature bald eagles cruising the creek on Tuesday, and Chris saw an immature male being harassed by a wren. The killdeer are back in force. Oddly, it seems to have been quite a rabbit-friendly winter, as their little white tails seem to be popping up everywhere on the farm; as I write this, I can see a rabbit hopping around across the creek, where the trees are just beginning to leaf out.
