Spring Days


These last few days have been beautiful! The temps have been in the 70's, the sun bright & the skies blue!

Bill fixed the weed wacker, so on Wednesday, Ryan did some preliminary work around the yard, and on Thursday, I spent several hours cleaning up a winter of weeds, and overgrowth. It was a beautiful day, and I love anytime I can spend outside, whether it be cutting grass, hanging laundry, trimming, or puttering in the flowers. I've had a hard time being patient while the flowers are growing, as in an effort to keep costs low, we bought seeds, instead of plants this year. I need to learn patience, as they are only 1 inch tall, and certainly have no blooms. Ironically, the free marigold seeds from last year's crop are what are growing the fastest.


Bill spent the day working on the plumbing for the basement. He had to tie in the old stuff to the new stuff. It was an all day project, but at least spent in the garage, and not the basement. He got everything run, new pipe in one area along with all the new connections, hooked back up and not one leak! Yahoo Bill!

Kristin has finally gotten heavy enough to drive the tractor. She had a great time yesterday taking a few spins through the grass.


Just a beautiful Spring day in Sweet Home. Enjoy!
