spring underway though alittle cold

So spring is here without a doubt, everything is greening up if it is not already green.
We have been busy spring cleaning, including refinishing our house floor.
What have we got done, what are we doing still.
Well just today we relocated the last of approximately 500 asparagus plants. last thursday we hosted a group of 60 students, parent and staff of the Beatty school of the arts, a high point of the week for us and the attendees, one can read the testimony of one parent, Heather, below.

It's the long weekend now and still a little chilly. I'm starting to think that the good meteorologist at enviroment canada has taken her/his vacation time. The predictions for the last few days have have been terrible. Last thursday we had a wind storm that was the strongest in years. My tree house(where i sleep) was doing a jig. All this rain is keeping everything green. The river is also making a late rise. On a normal year the river usually peaks in the first 2 weeks of may. This year it will come up short in terms of a high water mark but even to see it rise a few feet is heartening after such a terrible non-winter. Summer is coming non the less. Our pigs arrived Monday, yeah pigs.
