"Good Friday", yes Good Friday holiday to one and all. "Good Friday" is the Friday before Easter. Easter being April 8 this year. And Easter, well it falls on the first Sunday after the full moon after the spring equinox. Let's see, is that correct? Spring, March 21, 2012; full moon April 6, 2012; first Sunday after full moon April 8, 2012. Yes, Easter this coming Sunday, Good Friday, today. Some folks had this day as vacation/holiday, if that is you, hope you enjoyed your day and extended weekend.


"The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day.
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You're one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
a cloud come over the sunlit arch,
And wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of March."
- Robert Frost, 1926

What a beautiful spring day here at Oakville Farm. The wind was brisk, sun was strong, temps were cool. One had to wear several layers, a jacket and a head covering. Yes, all bundled up like it was a "normal spring day"! Yeah!

Oh, it has been soooo busy around here. In addition to growing daylilies, we also raise Boer Goats. And the does (nannies as some refer to them) have been dropping kids this entire week. All doing very very well. Nine does have given one set of triplets, six sets of twins and two singles.

Wanted to share .....













Hope you had a good day and until next time, Happy Gardening.
