SPRING 2023

Windsongs has had a good spring.  The weather has been pretty good.  We've had enough rain that Judy's veggie garden looks great.  We put in a new "hugelkultur" bed. So far, we harvested tomatoes, zucchini and squash!! The new bed has potato and bean plants PLUS two pineapple plants started from pineapple tops saved from store bought pineapples over a year ago. 


These are zucchini and squash plants in the old hugelkultur bed.

                                                                                                 Tomato plants all in pots.







                                                                         

The King William Art Festival turned out to be a good show despite a HUGE rainstorm on Friday night and an increase in the admission fee.  People still came to the show, stopped by the booth to visit or buy a bell.



We roped in our Boerne grandson, Julien, to help us set up on Friday night. We rewarded him with a trip to the Alamo Cafe on the way home!


The parade was a hit, as usual. This is just one picture of the tons that I took.

So Judy took a pottery class this year which then prompted us to buy a wheel and a kiln.  While throwing pots on the wheel hasn't been as easy as Judy thought it might be, both Philip and Judy created some ceramic Texas stars. These were given out to anyone who bought a bell at the King William show. Just a way of saying thank you to our customers.
