Happy (Late) Earth Day!

     Nature has been busy here on our little slice of heaven even if I haven't. I'm out of the foot cast but now I'm having to wear a protective boot so work has been slow going for me. Our lonely apple tree is in full bloom and some turkeys made an uncommon appearance at our place. In the garden our pea trails have already provided valuable data. The Little Marvel peas are doing great while the Green Arrow variety are having difficulty germinating. Even the Alaska peas that were planted later than the Green Arrow are germinating better. While harvesting some spinach planted last year, we found a huge spinach plant that caught our attention.
     Even though Corvid-19 seems to be overshadowing everything right now, we need to remember what Earth Day is all about. Everything going on means nothing if we don't have a world to live on. This is our one and only home and we need to give this planet the care and respect it deserves. I hope we learn some valuable lessons from this epidemic about how to better care for not only each other but for the environment as well.
