Work and Having Fun

No pictures today, but I did want to let everyone know that the John Deere garage (I call it the barn) is almost done. Today it was painted, and it looks great. It is also the house for the atv.

This week we have been busy, busy, busy. We felled a tree. Well, actually Don and Craig felled a tree. I was just a part of the clean-up crew. A big job, but the guys made quick work of it.

I have worked in the gardens. The jonquils and daffodils are done, and the tulips are on their way out, but the irises, lilies and lilac are ready to pop open.

Skeeter and Buddy have helped with weeding. Skeeter makes sure that I am guarded from every mole, vole or ground squirrel. He frequently looks like he is digging to China in the process, but it must be working, because I have not seen them. Buddy is more like Ferdinand the bull, he likes to chill and eat a few weeds or forget-me-nots.

Don had a wedding this weekend, that's why there is not a single photo to put with this posting, but it does catch you up on the happenings at A Way Back

Busy, busy, busy, but we almost have a barn

Oh my how time flies. I think that it is a lifestyle choice to be this busy, but maybe that is an excuse for not keeping the blog updated.

It has been a cold and wet April. The flowers love it, and so do the weeds. May has not been different from April. Still wet and cold. The daffodils and flowering fruit trees are just about finished with their glorious blooming, but now we have tulips and dogwood. Pretty soon we will have lilac and iris, but not quite yet. Today and tomorrow promises to be in the 50's with no rain, so, Don and I will be outdoors cleaning up winter debris and manning the fires.

The great news is the barn is ready for inspection.

Other good news is that there are three weddings this month and Art nd Jo will be staying at A Way Back.

June will be "busting out all over.." and we look forward to your arrival. Enjoy spring, we are doing precisely that at A Way Back.

Oh, I promise to not let two weeks go by without a note on life up here in the middle of the woods next to the creek and by the river.
