Yesterday I saw two little snakes at the farm. One was in a pile of scrap wood and one was on my compost pile, which is mostly leaves from last fall. I know the one on the compost pile was a redbelly snake. The other one might have been a redbelly, too, and I just didn’t see its underside.
Other things seen around the farm:
Our new (old) metal toolshed, purchased from Mary on craigslist and reassembled at the farm on Saturday.
The first tomato blossoms, on a cherry tomato plant.
The early cauliflower and cabbage, looking pretty happy in the field. I was so disgusted that we didn’t get any rain yesterday that finally I decided to do some hoeing, so I briefly peeled back the row cover.
A nice crop of dandelions.
The potatoes and carrots are in the ground, so I hope Wrenshall township got the same rain last night that I see puddled outside my window in Duluth!

Everything is looking great! Very green. Can the girls and I visit this weekend?
Thanks, Steve! Of course you can visit — it’s about time! 😉 I’ll probably be out there all weekend. Let me know if you have a plan for when you might stop by … but feel free to show up anytime.
