I am definitely a country girl that loves to garden, quilt, preserve, hunt, and read. I love my family more than anything in the world. I live with my husband of fifty years. We have a son, daughter, granddaughter and grandson. We live on a 500+ acre farm in Virginia with about 75 cows & bulls, thirty chickens, and three dogs.
Budding & Bloomin”
These two trees are red plums and they’ve tried so hard to bloom and keep getting bit back by frost.
All of the peach and cherry trees have budded and killed. Fruit from them this summer will be a miracle.
We have three pear trees fully budded and should have been killed by our 9* and 19* temps Sunday and Monday. We’ll see!!
What’s really weird is the apple orchards, most trees are just started budding and one crabapple in the orchard beside the house is in full bloom and leafing. It’s always the first to come out. The early blooms are great for the honeybees on these unusually warm days in March.
Then this week one of the peach trees rebloomed but I think next weekend, end of the month, cold temperatures are coming back.
Peach tree bloom in March.
Guess we’ll just wait and see what Mother Nature provides!!
I'm just a country girl living life my way on a farm with my husband and our critters. We've been married fifty years and been farming all of that time. We've moved from one family farm to one of our own and then to another family farm that has been in the family through at least six generations. In this day and age we could not have picked a better life!

Sigh. There’s no doubt that Mother Nature’s in charge. At least you’re not getting tornadoes! 😳😥
Doesn’t it make you feel so happy! I actually feel I can breathe easier, knowing spring is here and the beautiful weather is coming. Going out in the garden is my therapy. Love you 😘
