Busy, busy!

Wow, the last couple of weeks have been quite busy. I have subbed 5+ days, attended baseball practices, done some planting, enjoyed the few sunny days we've had and watched many rainy days (we even had some hail). I've also had a surprise visit from my sweet cousin and her little guy and spent several afternoons looking through and sort through pictures with my mother-in-law. It has been a fun few weeks but it is amazing how fast the time can past. Here is a few pictures of our recent happenings!






Mowing the field




We have had this huge Cotton Wood tree out in the garden area that we found out last year is perfectly lined up with the sun and our garden. Our garden wasn't able to get sun until close to 11am. We decided to remove the tree. Here is a picture of my DH attaching a cable higher up the tree so they can pull it slightly so that when it is cut the fall will be directed!















Here's the aftermath


We also added two turkeys to our collection of animals. JB wanted to get one and its best not to just get one so now we have two. They were in a box in the kitchen but on Saturday they graduated to the small coop where the chicks use to be. (Warning: These turkeys aren't pets. The plan is to eat them so don't get to attached.)




Here is also an updated picture of our chicks. They are getting quite big and we have now moved them to the big coop with the big chickens.


So there's just some of the happenings in our neck of the woods!

I am always blessed by your sincere appreciation for all the small things that make up life in our "neck of the woods". Contentment with Godliness is great gain! Love you! m.i.l.
