Spring is on it's Way!

Well, it was bound to happen with the nice weather we've been having. The kids across the street lost their kit on the power lines.  The grown ups called Alliant-our service provider and they sent out a truck to get it off the lines.

Remember this commercial? 

A sure sign that spring is on it's way! And look here, Darling Daughter and her kiddos came over and did a little yard work.

Drew is working hard! The big kids were in the back yard...not working hard!LOL!

Ringo helped with the baby sitting....

Actually, he was eating the cheerios off of Dylan's blanket!

Dylan was pretty happy in the sun. It was a very nice day!

It's a little picnic with cheerios!

I'm afraid we're in for more cold weather, so I hope the plants that got uncovered don't freeze to death!

Weekend To Do List

 I found a little screw on the floor when I was sweeping the other day and hubs found one too....hmmm where do these screws go? A little detective work and here's the spot! This is the under side of our dining table. It's a lovely old table I was lucky enough to get from my family. This lever pulls the two halves of the table together when you remove a leaf. The little screws have become stripped out of the wood. I put a little Gorilla Glue on the screws and put them back in. Hope that will hold it for awhile!

 I've been wanting to do some work in the yard...look a butterfly....I love a good distraction.....

 anyways, I stopped by Lowe's to get some dirt to fill in the pots for the annual tomato plant planting. As I swung around the lot, I saw this....SCORE! $1 per bag for broken bags!!!  Load em up!

 I got some rocks for $1 too, I'm planning to fill this area out back with rocks and make it pretty instead of weeks and stuff.

 Plus then ,my gardener won't have to mow so close to the house.

And look, I got some new shoes to go on vacation. Ringo says they make a pretty good pillow.

It's That TIme of Year AGAIN....

 Yes, it's time to mow the yard again. I really hate to do yard work...so I'm lucky to have DD be my gardener.

 Look, she burned off the hillside and now SIL and DD have it looking good!

 Hard at work-Mitch thought SIL was shoveling snow-he wanted to bite the dirt when it was tossed into the wheelbarrow! Silly Dog!

 Yup-serious work going on here! The supervisor is always leaning on a shovel right?

Thank you to you two for all the hard work!

Yard Clean Up-YUCK!

 I love mt DD and my Dear Son In Law. They came over and cleaned up my hillside-well I helped-YUCK!. And they mowed too. It's due to rain tonight so I think it might be just in time.

 Look at the mess the hill by the driveway is in.

 It was a tough winter! But look at my DD pull weed stalks and SIL run the rake and mow too!

 Looks SO MUCH better! Thanks Kiddos!
