Needmore Pennsylvania, April of 1992-April 0f 1993. Long days, beautiful nights.
Spring was all about the seeds, the greenhouse, laying irrigation and planting.
Summer was plowing fields, building electric fences,doing a weekly market, which meant rising at 3:00 am to load the van for the 2 hour drive to downtown DC. The market closed at about 6:00. Drove back, dumped compost and collapsed.
Fall was major harvesting and buying cider in huge barrels from local orchards.Planted winter wheat in the fields.Chopped wood.
Winter was all about survival. Had 3 big dogs in my bed next to the wood stove. No TV, lots of reading, NPR and knitting.
