As they say, every cloud has a silver lining, and being stuck inside with a cold has given me the time to organize this blog. Sitting in front of the computer is not my favorite activity for a beautiful Sunday afternoon, but I'm sure this rest will help me heal that much more quickly.
Spring has arrived in Alpine. Our plum tree is in blossom, and the curved bill thrashers are singing. The male flockers (our pet name for our guinea fowl) are trying to impress the ladies by chasing each other until one gives up out of exhaustion. They race around the house, through the garden, up onto the roof, and then down the driveway, while the females ignore them. It's not easy being a guy!
We had a good market yesterday. We had a wide variety of greens, lettuce, beautiful brocolli, cabbage, carrots and onions. We won't be at the market next Saturday (March 1), because we're heading down to Chinati Hot Springs for the weekend. We will return to the market on Saturday March 8.
