I'm getting close to having strawberries.

It's been hot, so the pool is fairly warm already.

May 28, 2018

My son disced the gardens.

We had to get a new filter for the pool.  We got it set up today.

Adding to the list of weird stuff my husband bought- 9 Ms. Pac Man games.

We got the tomatoes planted this evening.

My oldest has a small drone with a camera.  He's got some learning to do to get the camera pointing where he wants, without the drone flying into a tree.

We got a new mattress.

My son got the garden plowed this evening.

They're still working on the tractor.

This bluebird was checking out the inside of the birdfeeder.  My younger son is going to make a nest box for them.

May 15, 2018

These two did some weeding in the strawberry patch.

The apples are still blooming.

May 13, 2018

I got a rose and some solar lights for mother's day.

 Today was the school's art show.  Both kids had work there.   My daughter had two pictures (one of hers is the bottom right- a cat with green eyes).  My son had all three of the projects on the table.- a folding stool, the horseshoe butterfly, and wooden toaster tongs.

My husband bought a literal ton of metal from an auction for $10.  It's a belt sander, which would be nice for my wood carvings if we can get it going.  I think the biggest issue is that the motor needs more electric than what our residential home can get.

Our apple trees are covered in blooms.  I haven't seen honeybees, but there were some bumblebees buzzing around the blossoms, and a hummingbird.

My son made this in his shop class, using horseshoes, a railroad spike, and some metal he found around the classroom.  I found a paint that changes color depending on how the light hits it.  It has orange/purple/teal colors, and I think looks pretty neat on a butterfly.

Our pear tree has a lot of blooms again this year.

My daughter finished her project and took it to school and back already.  I guess the teacher liked it, though we haven't heard a grade yet.

May 3, 2018

We found one of the bunnies again today.  This time it hopped away when we got close.

May 2, 2018

My son mowed the yard and stirred up a couple baby bunnies.  We haven't found the nest, just two bunnies 'hiding' in the grass and dirt.

My daughter has a science project due this week.  We cut the design out of wood and she's coloring it in and labeling it.
