Two weeks

It's 5:30am and David and Melody drove off a little over an hour ago for a 2 week vacation, leaving the farm in Mark's and my capable hands. I'm excited and a little nervous. I can't sleep, so I figured I would take this pre-dawn hour before I need to go cut flowers and transplant and water and direct seed, etc, etc, etc, to write a short blog entry. As I was walking from our house to the barn I happened to glance up and noticed that the stars are brilliant before the sun comes up. I should probably get up early more often. There are a million little things that are going through my head right now about what needs to get done on the farm, questions we should have asked before David and Melody left, lots of 'what-ifs', but ultimately Mark and I have been here for almost six months and we know what needs to happen to keep this place running. And as long as we remember to water them, the crops will keep on growing! Ok, it's time to go drink some coffee and start the day. I expect that my afternoon plans will involve a nap, but until then, it's go time.
