Happy Birthday

Hey little sis, welcome to the forties!

I remember sharing a room with you, but you were too small to play with. As we got older, you were still too small to share my thoughts with. Seems we keep getting closer the older we get, cause now I can tell you anything and you understand. We cry over the same things and don't have to explain why. I can call you and even if you're in a hurry, you take time to listen. We like the same music, the same clothes, the same food! I'm so glad we have each other. Love you, big sis

Valentines Day

Other girls get diamonds!

After

This is what was left after all was done. A pile of firewood that needs to be chopped and stacked and a pile of branches to be shredded.

Before

Am feeling kinda old today! We took out two trees and a row of overgrown hedges on Friday. My arms are killing me from using the branch cutters, although I suppose they are good for certain muscles :)

Wally (a.k.a. Walter, Wallace,Walpuppy)

 This dog of ours is so funny! He got a haircut today. As you can see, he looks much better (and smells better too). When his hair is long he acts like a big goofball, but with short hair he has attitude (he's a little snooty!)












He wouldn't even look at me for the picture. He might be mad about the new do??

Impatient

Couldn't wait for it to get warm. Got bundled up, went out this morning and took out a section of fence connecting our garden with the new piece of property. On Friday we will remove the trees and hedges. It hurts to cut them down, but they are too close to one another and they have been neglected far too long by the prior owners.

How does your garden grow?

Ours has grown by 200 square meters as of yesterday! Oh the things I could do...a greenhouse, raised beds for the veggies, a berry patch with raspberries, blueberries, currants, gooseberries, blackberries etc. etc. Makes my mouth water thinking of all the yummy things I'll be making. But first there is going to be alot of work getting it prepared. Trees to cut, stumps and stones to remove. Now if it would only get a little warmer. I want to go out to play!
