We are pregnant! The Lord above (not the guy in the picture) has chosen to allow our 3rd embryo transfer to be successful which will be our second baby. We had tried at the end of 2025 but the embryo didn't take which was hard but we are very grateful this one did. We are grateful for all of them.
As for farm work, we are experimenting with poppies; not the drug kind. I would have sowed bread poppies for the seeds but but I'm pretty sure we can't actually grow that here because bread seed poppies and drug poppies are the same plant. I'm not trying to catch legal troubles just for wanting to grow poppy seeds for baking.
We picked up a cheap walk-behind tiller as finding a tractor tiller that isn't in the $1000+ is hard. Thankfully, we were able to till and sow before the last freeze and it's rained a few times since. They are in fact, growing.
Also, the pear and peach trees are blooming! I thought we had lost at least one of the peach trees but they are blooming.
At the house, we rebuilt 2 raised beds and what I like to call the potato corral. We have a small variety of stuff planted along with a russet potato I hope gives us a few pounds. Asparagus is growing nicely along with beans and strawberries. There are a few other things growing.
The elderberry plants I put in 2 years ago are huge and likely going to be transplanted from the house to the farm as they are most likely going to cause issues.
Other things are coming up this year so I fully expect that I won't have much time for many projects. I do want to finish testing the batch of .357 Mag I made for the handgun hunting experiment from last year and getting the Marlin re-zeroed. I have a write up for the next phase of the Marlin CST. I also filed a Form 1 for a .22 LR rifle that I'm doing things with that was approved in 50-something days. I'm excited for that.
Finally, I have started a new job that has a different schedule so there will be an adjustment period in trying to balance everything out.
