HELLO OUT THERE
SO THE WEATHER HAS BEEN PRETTY NICE AROUND HERE SINCE THE LAST TIME I POSTED. AS A MATTER OF FACT JUST YESTERDAY IT WAS PUSHING ABOUT 80. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL OUT UNTIL YESTERDAY EVENING WHEN IT CLOUDED UP AND STORMED AND BLEW IN THE COLD. TODAY WE WILL BE LUCKY IF THE TEMPERATURE REACHES 50. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. ITS WINDY AND CLOUDY AND COMPARED TO YESTERDAY--JUST PLAIN COLD.
A LOT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE MY LAST POST. THE YARD HAS NOW BEEN MOWED TWICE. MY MOM AND I TOTALLY REDONE RILEYS ROOM--PAINTED EVERYTHING. THE FLOOR NEEDS PAINTING BUT THAT IS HARD TO KEEP THE KIDS OFF OF IT WHEN I AM GONE OF THE EVENING. I NEED TO DO IT ON MY DAY OFF BUT THE WEATHER HAS BEEN TO NICE TO BE INSIDE MUCH. EVENTUALLY --AFTER THE BATHROOM AND LAUDRY ROOM ARE DONE--WE WILL BE GUTTING AND REDOING HER ROOM AS WELL, SO I DID NOT WANT TO PUT TO MUCH MONEY INTO IT. TOTAL COST OF DOING THE WHOLE ROOM WAS AROUND $30. HER SPENDING MORE TIME AND OCCASIONALLY SLEEPING ALL NIGHT IN THERE---PRICELESS.
I HAVE BEEN CLEANING ALL THE LEAVES OUT OF THE FLOWER BEDS AND TRANSPLANTING SOME FLOWERS FROM ONE PLACE TO THE OTHER--NOW I HEAR WE MAY HAVE SOME FREEZING--I HOPE THOSE PLANTS MAKE IT! IM KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED. THE DITCH THAT WAS IN THE YARD FROM RUNNING THE ELECTRIC WAS FILLED IN A WHILE BACK BUT HAD SETTLED A BIT SINCE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. DAD HAULED SOME DIRT IN THE OTHER DAY AND I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT WE ARE OVER HALF WAY DONE WITH LEVELING THAT OUT. YAY. YESTERDAY I BUILT A SMALL FENCE BESIDE THE SHELTER TO DETOUR THE KIDS FROM GETTING INTO THE FLOWERS THAT ARE TRYING TO COME UP AND TO KEEP THEM OUT OF THE MUDDIEST PART OF THE YARD. SO WHEN IT WAS ALL DONE---YOU GUESSED IT--COULD NOT KEEP RILEY OUT OF IT. SHE TOLD ME IT WAS LIKE A MAZE AND WAS TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW MANY WAYS SHE COULD GET AROUND IT. IT LOOKS GOOD ANYWAY.
THINGS STILL TO DO BEFORE SUMMER:
WE WERE GOING TO START ON THE SWIMMING POOL-- WHICH WILL BE GETTING THE OLD LINER REMOVED, DUG TO BE DEEPER, AND A NEW LINER AND WATER HAULED IN TO FILL IT MOST OF THE WAY--THIS WEEKEND. BUT I DONT THINK THAT THE WEATHER IS GOING TO COOPERATE SO MAYBE NEXT WEEKEND.
GET MY HUSBANDS CONCRETE POURED IN HIS BUILDING AND GET A GARAGE DOOR ON IT--YES THERE IS A LOT OF WORK IN THAT SMALL SENTENCE I JUST WROTE.
I HAVE ABOUT 4 TREES AND BUSHES THAT I WANT PULLED OUT OF VARIOUS PLACES IN THE YARD. I HAVE TO WAIT ON DAD OR EVERETT TO HELP ME OUT WITH THAT. ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE A COUPLE OF ROSE BUSHES TO MAKE THINGS A LITTLE EASIER TO MOW. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO GET A FEW MORE FRUIT TREES TO PUT OUT IN THE ORCHARD. OVER THE YEARS A FEW HAVE DIED OFF AND IT IS NOT MUCH OF AN ORCHARD ANYMORE. I HAVE ALSO BEEN WANTING SOMEPLACE DIFFERENT TO PUT MY GRAPEVINE BUT HAVENT THE SLIGHTEST IDEA WHERE I WANT TO PUT IT.
OF COURSE I WANT TO PAINT THE FLOOR IN RILEYS ROOM AND A FEW OTHER SMALL THINGS AROUND THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE BUT THERE IS MAJOR WORK A BREWING. I NEED TO CLEAN OUT MY LITTLE STORAGE BUILDING OUTSIDE BEFORE I CAN EVEN START ON THE LAUNDRY ROOM AND BATHROOM.
THE MORE I WRITE THE MORE I THINK OF ALL OF THE LITTLE STUFF THAT NEEDS DONE AROUND HERE NOT TO MENTION ALL OF THE NORMAL STUFF. JEEZ I THINK I COULD WRITE ALL DAY BUT I THINK I WILL QUIT WHILE IM AHEAD AND BY WRITING SOME OF IT DOWN MAKES ME THINK I NEED TO GET TO WORK. I WILL TRY TO GET ON HERE OCCASIONALLY TO POST PROGRESS. BUT I WARN YOU NOT TO EXPECT TO MANY POSTS FROM HERE TILL THE END OF THE SUMMER. EVERYONE TAKE CARE.

Crazy weather here as well. A few days ago it was 80 and we were going to bed wit hthe air unit running, then waking up to having to turn the heater on. Its been cold now for about 3 days. We even had snow flurries yesterday! I'm ready for warm!
You sound as busy as us around here. My chickens are coming in tomorrow, and I have a garden that needs to be planted....glad I waited though sense it froze last night!
Have a great week!
