More Rain!

It’s raining again today!  And it rained yesterday too!  That might not seem unusual for Spring, but the past five or so years have been extraordinarily dry here in Alberta!  The children aren’t much liking to stay in (Larry wore a toque out this morning, so it’s pretty chilly), but we’re ever so thankful for the rain!

On our last trip home we saw that the garlic we planted last fall has come up VERY well, with a very uniform catch, so this fall we should have a LOT of garlic!  Hopefully we’ll have lots to eat AND to replant after we harvest it :) .  I’m sure the garlic is appreciating the moisture as much as the fields here are.

Welcome!
