Happy Easter everyone!
We have had a very productive 3 day weekend! We had baby chicks hatch Friday and Brandon is busy building a chicken coop so maybe this time the dogs won't kill all of our chicks. He helped his uncle and cousin split some wood out f the pasture on Friday. We got our garden planted this weekend too. Brandon said we have had a very productive spring in general. He has put up a new pasture to move the goats over to while the other recovers and we get it ready for a horse we are getting next weekend. We planted 100 pounds of grass seed, put out 300 pounds of fertilizer and 480 pounds of lime on and around the house and back 10. Brandon has sold all of his junk Festivas, John got rid of his junk car, and Brandon's project tractor is benefiting from the extra cash flow. He has got a lot of tractor parts off of ebay and his tractor is starting to look better and better. He says he needs to get some more junk to sale, but I like the way his yard is looking without the junk sitting around!
I got some spring cleaning done too. Nothing in particular that anyone would notice but me, but it makes me feel better. I cleaned out some closets and threw a few things away and stored some other stuff in the attic. I hauled all the wood out of the basement since I don't think we will be needing a wood fire any more this spring. I got some flowers to plant around our house number post. Melly came over Friday and helped me haul rocks for a bed around the post and we got the flowers planted. Emily and Abigail played in their kiddie pool til their lips turned blue. We went down to the river with Melly and Justin Saturday night to eat hotdogs and kiebasa. They have been working around the river to fix their building and deck that was sliding off the river bank. They are getting it ready for the summer months river parties and Melly's September wedding. We went shopping last week for bridesmaids dresses and things seem to be falling in place for them and the wedding.
Emily and Abigail were so excited about their Easter baskets this morning. They each brought one thing at a time to me and Brandon (still in bed) and showed us what all they had. We dyed Easter eggs this morning and the girls did everything by themselves, tablets, vinegar, dipping and decorating!
Now we need to be packing them a bag to go stay with Grandma Ann for a few days. Theys are out of school next week and are hoping to enjoy some grandparent time this week.
