An even Busier Day

No pictures again…. bummers.  It was a busy one though so come on …. chill!!!   This morning Doug took off to do a little fishing on the trask.  Nicolas and I read some “mighty machine” books.  Then got busy cutting poor springer ridiculous hair.  So it wasn’t a very good hair cut but hopefully the shedding will slow down.

Ginger showed up around 10am with Rici.  The boys jumped on the trampoline for a little while.  Then we all took off for the local garden center, Don’s Waterfalls.  After almost 5 years of living here I finally checked the place out!  They were so incredibly helpful and educational.  Ginger and I both learned a lot about why certain plants weren’t growing here year after year.  Due to the lengthy lesson, I now have several plants sitting in my house for the next month or so.  Doug has also been on the internet more than his share looking for a good greenhouse. 

Ginger was a HUGE help planting a lot of my plants and moving a lot of the others to bigger pots for the indoors.  It was a HUGE HUGE help.  I can’t thank her enough.  Some of the new things in my yard now are artichokes, asparagus, sweet peas, and cabbage.  Inside there is tons of stuff just waiting for a slow down in the weather and rain. 

Later in the evening Doug, Nic, and I hauled gravel to the little entrance into our chicken coop.  Nicolas also used his dump truck to haul gravel to my hose area.  Last year he managed to make a massively huge mud pie there.  This year I think some gravel will be helpful!

We finally came in and I made some dinner.  Then Nicolas bathed with the ducklings, Doug and I took showers, and we headed off to the Clarks for Survivor.    What a great life!  Busy but GREAT!
