My apple trees have a lot of blooms this year.  Maybe I'll finally get some apples from them!

We got a little bit of rain, but it must not have been much as the dirt dried out quickly.  My husband was able to go over the plowed places a couple times with the disc.  We'll have to do it again after it dries out a little more.  This little section is going to be my strawberry patch, along with some asparagus.

I was taking a picture of our plowed yard when my dog saw a half empty plastic water bottle.  She grabbed it and trotted off, all pleased with herself for making off with it.  She crunched it for a while (that cheap plastic is very noisy).  This picture is about the time she finally broke through and water started coming out.  After that, she stopped playing with it.

We worked some more on grading, then my husband plowed the gardens.  Some of the garden is going to be seeded back to grass, in particular the two former gardens in the back of the yard.  Vegetables didn't grow well back there.

We worked on grading the yard around the barn.  We got most of it done around the concrete today.

We've been spreading mulch this week.
