Updates

I didn't write a post last week so I will get some of the stuff from last weekend first. I started setting the post for the fence around the raised beds.




This weekend I was able to get the gate hung and add some bracing to the post. I'm not putting up the rest of the fence until I get the dirt added to the two new beds. I'm hoping to get that this week, weather permitting.

Saturday Tarah took Alex to get his picture taken with the Easter Bunny but he wasn't really having any of it. He got the picture but he said the Easter Bunny was scary. So this morning after church Tarah asked Alex if he wanted to stop at Walmart and get his picture with the Easter Bunny. At first he said he didn't need too and that the Easter Bunny wasn't going to be there. After we said he could look at toys while we were there he said he guessed we could go. After letting him look at toys he reluctantly went over to get his picture taken. As we got closer he said "when did the Easter bunny get littler?". And he went right up and got his picture made. As we were walking away he said "the big Easter bunny is scary but the little one not". He cracks me up with the things he says.




This weekend I had planned on working on getting part of the barn setup to keep some chickens. But I didn't really feel good yesterday and didn't get anything done. I started feeling better today so after going to Mom & Dad's earlier, I got started. I closed off one of the doors I won't be needing and started building a door for the other side. I need to pick up some hardware to mount it up but it's pretty much done. I still need to build a few things but I'm hoping we can get some laying hens soon.

Mom & Dad came over for dinner this evening and Tarah made some biscuits , sausage, and eggs. It was all really good. After everyone left Alex, Tarah, and I went out front to play a little soccer. Well Tarah watch me and Alex play. I'm going to have to get back into shape to keep up with him. Alex and I took a little walk and I showed him some deer tracks in the corner of the yard so then he told me we had to hunt for more. And while we were hunting for more tracks he found some flowers to pick for mommy.



It wasn't long and we started hearing thunder so me retreated to the front porch to watch the storm move in. As it started to sprinkle me and Alex decided to run to the other side of the yard and back in the rain. We made it about half way back when it started to pick up a little and Alex made carry him back running and we made it just in time before the storm let loose.

Another good weekend.
