Seems like I need to start these entries a little earlier… I’ve been falling asleep and not feeling like waking up enough to write!  That’s typical springtime… the rush is on to clean, garden, farm, ride, move cattle, irrigate and plant.  Where we were in snow just a few weeks ago, the grass has now shot up and begs to be mowed down!

I tried and tried to mow my lawn, but scattered rain showers kept scooting around, the wind blowing hard enough to blow my baseball cap off my head, with just a smidge of rain.

I did manage to plant some of my garden… I’m trying mass plantings this year, crowding many more plants into my available space than normal.  I suppose it would be easier to enlarge my garden, but I’ll give this a shot for this year.

On occasion, I’ll walk around, still looking for my bees.  If I could just find them, I’m prepared to recapture them, but I just can’t find them!  There’s too many buildings, pipes, trees, and posts to hide them!  I have a few days to try, then, I guess, I could buy an existing hive.  It’d have to be a Langstroth hive, then I could have my Top Bar as backup.  I’m still sure that Top Bars are great, but I’ve just had Bad Luck.

I just want bees so badly!  I was having such fun…

Somehow along the way, the big news of getting our center pivot started was forgotten!  It was exciting!  While we’ve had a glitch or two, it’s still an amazing piece of equipment…
