We had a wonderful 2 and a half weeks in Spain. A much needed break from the rain, the farm and a good time spent together. We had a little snafu getting to Spain. At the airport I was unable to board as my valid passport would expire within three months of our return flight. I stayed behind and had to get an expedited passport four days after the rest of the family left. They saw Madrid, I joined them in Barcelona and we made the best of a ridiculous situation. The kids had to come back to start school and Juve and I had 9 days to travel around the south. What a great celebration of our 25 year wedding anniversary.
We have been back almost a week and are getting the farm back in order. Fortunately the weather cooperated while we were gone, no major ice or snow. The greenhouses are standing, the winter crops look fairly good. We managed to get the seedling hoop house pressure washed, a few beds tilled and barn organized. We still have a few weeks before work on the farm begins in earnest.
We are getting our rooster of members organized for 2015. Returning members still have a chance to retain their spot for 2015, but we are actively taking on new members. Please let us know if you will continue and send in your deposit of $100. New members can go to our membership page and print out the membership form and send in their deposits as well. More news soon, Pruning party coming soon, February!
