We have been having such lovely weather which has led to many hours outside. The girls are swinging, exploring, playing, helping, etc. They LOVE being outside and now that they have splash pants (instead of snow pants) they can move around easier.
I have been doing lots clean up. Raking, digging, chainsawing, etc. We have lots of trees that fell down during the wind storms we had over the winter. I have been pulling them out and cutting them up into firewood. I love wielding a chainsaw!!! We were nervous about the number of trees that feel but after a walk around the property and happy to see tons of saplings ready to take their. I LOVE IT HERE!!!
We had to take Natasha into town for dancing tonight but returned for a lovely fire with hot dogs and marshmellows. I bought myself a new pair of ropers. I love how they are fitting gloves and leather. I may go buy myself a couple more pairs.
Something is wrong with Farleys foot. He was with us while we were outside, running by the quad, etc. He loves being around us. Anyway when we returned tonight I noticed he was limping. His back right foot is bothering him. I looked at and did not see any blood or injuries and he didn't whimper when I looked at it. Anyway I will watch it for a bit and if it doesn't get better to the vet we go I guess. Maybe he twisted it somehow??
My seedlings are doing really well. My pumpkins are growing quickly as well as my sunflowers. I know exactly where I am going to plant them and I can't wait to look my kitchen window and see a rainbow of colour. I have also planted some Datura which I can't wait to bloom. I know they are toxic but I feel safe planting them. They are STUNNING. The other thing I want to plant around the property is Tamrack (sp?). It is the most beautiful tree even if according to me. I love the colour it produces!!!
I am starting two new blogs which I will share more details about tomorrow. Right now I have to make my husbands lunch and get to bed. I secured him and his buddy tickets to the Oiler game tomorrow so I am in good books all around. That being said I am anticipating him spending the night which is fine because we have 4 glorious days together.

The weather has been marvelous for sure! I'll have to google the tree; backyard landscaping at our place should be done this year, and I need a new tree.
Sigh, to wield a chainsaw, just like in the Doom video game...
It's nice to hear you enjoy your place so much! I love hearing when people are happy in live and things are going good!
Enjoy your 4 days of family time to the fullest!
I'm so scared of chainsaws and axes: I can't be around them, they freak me out.
I have to get out and do some yardwork soon!
Well then Susan I guess we know who would win between a pirate and lumberjack??
Arrrrrghh, what the hell? we have way too much snow out here to chop down anything...lol, let alone find it!!! I have 3 tamaracks out back....they are the only coniferous tree that loses their needles....Look at me, full of useless info! :)
Hey! Them's fightin' words.
Pirates sometimes have guns, they would just shoot at the tree until it fell down.
Alright Susan fair enough. You go ahead and shoot your trees down but when you get cold you can come over to my roaring fire and enjoy some pegleg parrot stew. LOL.
