The weather warmed up nicely this week (although it's headed back down again) and the olive trees are really showing new growth. We have one row of wire but will need to add a second row as they are getting to be really tall. It so nice to envision what they will look like when they are grown. There is something strong and calm about olive trees.
The baby pigs are starting to run arond and play with each other much to Piper's displeasure. I guess moms are always trying to calm down the kids.
Things are drying out quickly. It doesn't seem possible that it is half way through the year. I find that calendars don't really mean much as I get older.
We have been getting some great brocoli off of the plants. We are very lucky they continued to grow after the snow we received in February (1 week after planting them). We are still waiting for cauliflower but I'm not sure it will ever produce. Time will tell. The tomato plants are covered with little green fruit. Won't that be great when they ripen - nothing like home grown tomatoes fresh from the plant.
We finally received the permit for our new barn and are moving forward quickly. It will be so nice to have the storage room to "spread out" and organize.
Ben and Angel are enjoying the new fence and spend their evening running the length of the property. They are so powerful and fast!
I hope you all have a tremendous Father's Day. It may be a "Hallmark Holiday" but any excuse to show love for your family is a good excuse for me.
