Casi Cielo is a go!!

Happy to say that I will soon begin my season as a farmer growing custom food for 8 wonderful families.  I have lots of plans and dreams, since we have lots of boys in the families to give them opportunities that suit their interests, with the fairy gardens and lots of ways to incorporate folks as they want to be involved other than just eating good healthy food.  In one more month, I hope to begin seeding even if my yard is still mostly white.

muscari, a brave little perennial.

The top garden.

There is hope and the dear little muscari which are always the first each Spring, are beginning to bloom.   I started my first seeding project with wheat grass in eggshells.  Lets see if we have little creatures in time for our EAster Egg hunt.

Some of you are already in the beginnings of Spring.  It is still a long way off here.  As you can see out in the countryside, one hour from my home, the snow is deep and at least on this farm yard all is quiet.  I am always curious about the stories behind a place like this, how old is it, who lived here, why doesnt anybody anymore. 

Is somebody coming back, or is is too sad, or overwhelming.  I love all the shades of white and grey

The temperature was mild on this day so the tress have a little hoarfrost.  the snow was shining that day, sure hasnt shone much lately, and we here in Winnipeg, are getting cabin fever!  Bring on the Spring please!!

Whirlwind Christmas preps and domestic bliss!

I think the biggest part of the push for Christmas is over.  The kiln is on one last time before Christmas to finish an Etsy order. Not efficient with only about 15 pots, but felt I needed to try and get the customers order out.

Yesterday was crazy fun with play dates, Christmas baking for the office and our WEST handmade and vintage sale, next weekend and then movie time with ELF with Gabriel, and a visit to Aurora Farms for some soap, etc...
