Happy Easter!


Well, it's almost Easter and the weather has been great! We've even had thundershowers already. Daryl and I started on some raking and lawn work, we had voles chew up some of our grass (as did many of our neighbors) Yesterday I bought a wheelbarrow, I'm not sure how we made it through the previous lawn/gardening stuff without it. It's a beauty! 2 wheeled, self dumping...a woman's wheelbarrow! I was trying to put it together before Daryl got home from work but that didn't work out so well. He has that stupid gift of being able to put stuff together without even looking at the directions, it would have taken me til next week to get all the right screws and bolts in the right spot. Today I am in the process of making paska and I boiled eggs for the girls to dye. Wishing you all a wonderful Easter weekend!

Spring has sprung, the grass is green...




So, it's April 1st and it feels like spring is well on it's way. The snow is melting at a tremendous rate and the fresh air is so good.
We went to the Brandon Winter fair this week and met my sister and her family there. These are some new farm babies we saw, the girls all had a wonderful time. Another spring item, I filed our tax returns today after much frustration with the program we got. I started on tuesday and we had a very short power outage which lost all the info I had entered. Daryl's comment, "save early, save often". Advice that was "a little late". Hopefully the refund will push all bad memories to the back of my memory, I'm sure it will once I'm out spring shopping!
