I found a tiny little pepper growing - yippee

there are also 2 little romas growing - I can't tell you how excited I am

the chicks and hens are getting so big too

the  lillies are blooming too - but only the pink so far

And I found a little time to stock up for the markets.

F-I-N-A-L-L-Y

My bathroom is complete.  I am embarrassed to say this is what it looked like for 18 months.
this is where a sink WAS
yep - sub-floor & half mudded walls


what?! bathrooms are supposed to have sinks?

oooohhh - look at that pretty new floor and storage!

Look at how pretty that is!

Happy Earth Day!


Happy Earth day! 

I am celebrating Earth Day by starting to use my new kitchen composter......it breaks down the food using Bokashi enzymes...I should have beautiful, rich dirt in time for veggie planting!



There is so much going on these days!  I'll update more soon.
PS- Happy lake fly season!

spring break


Audrey took the plunge & got her ears pierced! She didn't cry 1 single tear - I was so surprised & proud of her. Syd got hers done last year, but Audrey wasn't up for it then.

There was lots of yoga done. The girls are having a lot of fun with it.

And I was able to squeeze in making this purse for a gift. It's back to school time tomorrow though!

ahh...Spring



It's a time for renewal & fresh beginnings......



In the yard plants are starting to sprout up & the bulbs are blooming.




I found these great looking rose bushes at Aldi for only $5 each. I can't wait to get them in the ground!




We went to an Easter Egg Hunt at our zoo - the girls had fun, it was PACKED. Then we had a lovely, quiet Easter at home on Sunday......
