Spring Fever


OK it's official. We have Spring fever. Sunday and Monday were both beautiful days. We played outside, rode the 4wheeler (which Brian got stuck in the creek :) and hung laundry on the line. Monday was a perfect day to hang out laundry...warm and a little windy. The garden also got turned and so we are ready and waiting to start planting. Now if only spring will come soon.

Ice Storm




During the past two weeks the storms in our lives sure have raged. We had two grandparents to die within a week of each other so much of the past two weeks has been spent at the funeral home. As if that weren't enough we also had a winter storm that brought with it lots of ice. Ice that made the trees look beautiful,dangerous (a piece fell on our truck and broke the windshield)but beautiful. We lost electricity for three days but at least we have a fireplace so we didn't freeze. Many other neighbors and friends are still out of electricity but I know the line worker are doing all they can to get every body up and running and we appreciate it very much. Today is the start of a new week and I am sure things are looking up for us!!

Pigs

Growing Boys Farm is trying our hand at pigs. Well, actually some friends of ours are growing the pigs for us on their farm since the Growin...
