Spring is in the air! Wow has it been lovely around here! I am so pleased with the weather this year! The windows have been open, the fresh air blowing through the house and it has been so heavenly! I have been enjoying grilling out, working in the yard and getting my herb garden and my flowers planted. I hope that my green thumbs (yeah right) are in action this year and I can really accomplish growing my own flowers for my pots. I have also talked my husband into tilling up a small garden spot for me and I can't wait to get out there and get some onions planted. I also bought some radishes, cucumbers, zucchini, and green beans and plan on getting some tomato plants too. This is just something small. Something to do and enough to eat on. Just for us and Bill's mom is going to help me out I hope, cause I kinda suck at gardens! I just want to be able to walk out and pick some fresh veggies that I grew myself! I am excited for that!
Bill has finally gotten his seed orders sorted and on pallets ready to deliver to customers. That was a LONG and tiring day, but we got it all done and organized. Thank goodness. It's field time. Spring work has begun. Bill's been spending long hours working the fields and he's getting them all worked up. Chem Gro has been out and got all the chemicals applied and now we are working ground. He has a couple fields left to do and hopefully tomorrow will be done till planting time. That will start sooner than I want it to!
Grandma Jean and I made a trip to Quincy and got my vertical blinds picked up for my dining room. My birthday and Christmas present. I can't wait to get them hung. It will make such a difference getting them hung up in the dining room. This summer when we have to run the air, it will help keep the house cooler and darker. I am excited! I also bought 5 gallons of Thompsons water seal and plan on sealing the deck and swing set. I even bought a handy dandy sprayer to do it with. I am excited.
Sunday I ran our mower for the first time. I am a bit clumsy and it's crazy, but I have been scared to run a zero turn mower. Bill turned me loose and I got the hang of it eventually. It looks so great! I am pretty proud of myself for mowing and making it look so nice! Looks like I have a new job!!!
These boys are wearing me out! They sure do enjoy being outside. We've been taking some amazing three and four wheeler rides and going exploring together. It's so much fun for us. It's a relaxing and fun thing we can all do together that we all have fun doing! We've been all over the neighborhood lately!
I am so happy that SPRING has SPRUNG!!! It puts me in a good mood and makes the days go by so fast!
