Green Hill Farm

Last camera class tonight - learned so much - now to find time to practice and use it! Instructor was very good, patient and very knowledgeable - makes learning fun. Sad part of this class is that the Olympus we bought 6 or 7 years ago is probably obsolete. We may need to get a new camera to show off our new-learned talents. We are definitely downloading Picasa for photo management. And, we will be looking at Epson and Kodak for photo printing. Class may have cost us $4 each but that is the "tip of the iceberg," so to speak.
Asparagus sales are going well. We turned over more than 70 pounds during the first week (last week) with more going to Jane and Mike and what I used for soup. If the temp stays above 65 this week, we should do more and still have 5 or 6 weeks to go. We will never get rich on asparagus but we certainly enjoy the harvest. Our radio ad brought in 6 orders in the first week. Not bad for beginners!
Mother's Day was wonderful. We enjoyed a superb brunch at Bungalow Inn with Mike's and Jane's. Phone calls from Kansas and Seattle topped off the day. I could get really sentimental and sloppy about how great our kids are but will leave that to another night and a good bottle of wine!
Seems like we live wishing our lives away. We looked forward to the Mother's Day Brunch. Now we are looking forward to the end of the month when Patrick and Jaime come for a few days. Life would be horrible if we didn't have special times to look forward to but I worry a little about wishing it away. We may be lucky enough to have Kyle and Cody here the last week of the month. Now that is a good time to make time stand still. Then we will look forward to Labor Day and the Fesler family get-together.
May is a big month for birthdays. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANE, KYLE, WAYNE, AND MIKE F.
