Ridin' High
Great big thanks to our friends who operate Meadow Creek Farm! We visited with them at the West Minot Maine Maple Sunday Celebration this morning. They invited the girls to ride up on the driver's seat of the wagon being pulled by their team of Belgian Horses. The girls were thrilled and loved every minute of it!

Another sick day...and another rock wall?!
Unfortunately, my little guy is still sick. However, he didn't really seem it this morning when I picked him up from school, so I told him that he would not be playing video games all day and would instead be catching up on school work. Somehow when the weather is this nice, I don't think he minds...and, since there are other gardens that need walls, guess what I was doing?
At this point I was beginning to think that I may have bit off more than I could chew! Although, Rusty was a huge help.
I did finish it though, despite the heat and tiredness. Now, I'm even more anxious for summer to arrive so that I can start filling these gardens with flowers!

I guess I really am my mother's daughter...
One of the boys is home sick today. While he naps, I'm out picking rocks from the field so that I can build a wall around one of my gardens. We always teased Mom about spending her free time building rock walls, and here I am doing the same thing!
The finished project was worth all the effort though. It's ready for planting! And, any birds that might be interested in moving in? The view is great!!

She sells...
...seashells by the seashore! Try saying that 10 times, fast!!
The kids get so creative when you tell them that they can design their own birthday cake. Below her seascape is a marble cake - she thought it was pretty cool mixing the chocolate cake and white cake batters together in the pan. She had no idea how a marble cake was made, when she requested that flavor. Now she knows!

The Reader
He has finally discovered a love for reading! I knew he would eventually; it runs in my blood. Tonight he was an only child because his siblings were all with their other parents. I asked him what one-on-one project he wanted to do with me. His answer was that he wanted to snuggle on the couch with me and read. I was very happy to oblige!

Farm Girlz
Remember last year's chix? They have turned into great, big, beautiful, hard-working layers! The girls have done a good job handling them, so they are also friendly and they seem to enjoy being handled. Although not for too long!

Sunday Drive
We got the Ol' Green Booger out of the garage today and took her for a drive. It's funny how that old car makes us want to go cruisin'...nowhere to go & no hurry to get there...
