Being the only caregiver to my parents has been time consuming
and full of adjustments. It’s all manageable and doable however it leaves little
time for much else other than our life too. School is over now, at least mine is
but that means I’m driving for two other districts until next Wednesday and than
I’m done till summer school. I have worked the past two weekends at my summer
job, the mini golf, and am seeing that it’s going to be an awesome year there. I
told Jim I don’t think I can handle a huge garden this year but this weekend
will plant one anyways and just see what I can do and Mike is doing wonderfully
which makes this mama one happy mama.
So my poor blog gets put off all the time and I miss hearing
from your guys so I’m taking a bit of time this morning to just share some
pictures with you.
Jim’s been working on the camper. It’s just to top heavy so he’s putting on a
different axle that’s longer so hoping that the wider stance makes for more
stability.
While Jim is working on that I’m getting the other outside chores did and
done. Like taking off and sharpening the blades on the lawn mower. Goosey is
always with me, he loves me you know. So he was there to tell me how to do it.
Before Goosey goes to bed at night he makes sure all the other chickens and
Chuck is in. Than he gets a bath with the hose and goes to bed. He doesn’t like
our pond and the little swimming pool we had finally died so the hose makes him
happy.
My most favorite flower in the world. I have 3 large bushes of them and
usually can’t bring them in the house because they bother Jim but for some
reason this year this didn’t so for the full season of the lilacs I got to have
a bouquet on my table.
I had an old music chair that was getting more unstable as the years went by
so this was my spring time project. I love the way it turned out. See the little
black stool in the background on the first picture? I got that at a garage sale
but didn’t like that is was all white so I repainted that too and now it fits
perfectly in the kitchen under the table instead of the music chair.
This frog use to be a bath tub toy holder for daycare but since we know
daycare is over there are a few toys or items I kept. I turned it into a
strawberry hanging planter. Today I was out there and it looking mighty fine.
Cool to repurpose things.
I am always trying to find time to just do a small craft project here and
there. I have a friend that loves to shoot, like me, so I made her this 9mm
necklace. It’s hard to tell but it’s brushed nickle. She loved it.
The babies are growing. Wilbur checks on the every day to make sure they are
okay. I am thinking next week it will be time to make them their new home in the
chicken coop. Soon they’ll be out and about like the big ones but since mostly
banti’s hoping that they will fly when the wildlife comes around instead of
becoming lunch.
One morning on my way to work I got to see the full moon and the sun rising
at the same time. It really was pretty so had to try and take a picture of
it.
And last but not least. This is Mike with his friends Remington and
Winchester (yep, gun nuts too and not just by name). They came to visit me at
mini golf. They have been friends since tiger cubs, over 16 years ago. Today
they are out fishing on Rabbit lake. Last week they went too and brought home
enough fish for a tiny fish fry. Hoping for more this weekend.
So for now that’s that. There’s more but a person only has so
much time to spend on another’s blog so I’ll leave you for now. I am hoping to
be back more often but we’ll just see what life brings. I hope you all are
having an awesome weekend. I am on my way over to my parents shortly and than
going to lunch with Jim. I have a truck load of wood to unload and a to garden
till and plant. Tomorrow I work the golf but not till 2 so have time to go
shopping for next weeks groceries. Life goes on and I am blessed more than I
really deserve.
Have a blessed day!
