SPRINGing into Things

It's been so long since I've taken any pictures. School has been busy, but most of my time is beingtaken with bees and garden. I've planted 13 new grapevines, taken out a gigantic blue spruce tree, more than doubled the amount of beehives I have (now I have 5) and am making more cheese than we can imagine eating. All very satisfying but really time consuming.

I'm going to see if I can't make some $ to offset some of the expenses, even make a profit at some point. I'm going to try to make some cooking and seasoning vinegars, hence the mini vineyard. It's all going to be organic and I'll need to renew a food-handlers permit, get certified and all that. I hope the money thingy doesn't overshadow the "spiritual" satisfaction and motivation.

I have come into indirect contact with people involved with the Provo Farmers Market. I may make it part of my Saturday routine. It symbolizes what I believe and what I'm hoping to accomplish, if only on a personal level.

Hopefully, I'll have some shots of the bees, the vineyard and the animals and such. Until then....
