March 20th. Spring is here
The planting has started. We have planted the Celebrity , San Mariano, Purple Cherokee, Sweet 100's and yellow pear tomatoes. We also planted a sweet yellow onions, white onions and purple onion. The Ennis Farmers Market is two weeks away with an April 1st start date.
During spring break we made a visit to the Mercatile in Pawhaska, Oklahoma. Ree Drummond has created the perfect general store/ deli/ restaurant/bakery. The cinnamon rolls were truely exceptionally delicious. The bakery has windows for customers to watch the preparation of cinnamon rolls and other delicacies. The restaurant served breakfast and lunch. By chance we received an invitation to tour the ranch lodge where the Pioneer Woman cooking shows on the Food Network are filmed. After a 30 minute drive through the middle of the Drummond Ranch we arrived at the lodge. The lodge is not a kitchen set up for a TV show. It is a full kitchen and lodge for guest. We were able to take pictures and talk with a ranch hand.
Her recipes are easy to prepare and delicious. She is definitely the real deal.

The Mesquite Tree
The Texas Mesquite Tree
The Mesquite tree is showing small buds which means spring will be coming early. There is always a chance of a freeze before Easter, April 16th. Today we broke ground for the first planting of our garden. With spring break a week away we hope to plant onions and potatoes. These two should have been in around Valentine' Day. There is still time. As the month progresses we will begin planting spinach, lettuce, and radishes. Planting of the tomatoes is about two weeks out. More signs of spring to come.
