Spring Days


The guys are starting to get in the next winter's supply of wood. So the little guys have to too. Japheth was so excited to start hauling in the kitchen wood, pieces for the old cook stove that we use in the spring and fall to "warm up" the house. Even in winter it's fun to have it going in the morning, we also use it to burn up our paper trash. That reminds me, I need to empty the ashes out today. The last few days were kinda windy so I put it off.










We planted another row of rasberries and some garden on Tuesday! Fun!! Only problem I had to feed baby and didn't get to be in on all of it. But babies don't stay babies so I am trying to enjoy all the stages and moments that go along with the little guy!

Yesterday morning I went Wal-Mart shopping. I could leave as early as I wanted to . . . Just had to be back before Japheth needed to head off for work. Silence on the way in and silence on the way back. Jaden didn't make a peep. I knew he should sleep the whole time yet I took him so I wouldn't have to worry if he needed me. Japheth doesn't like having a baby with no Mama around . . . What if he gets hungry???

It's a wonderful rainy day!!! Although I started to hang out wash, I still love these days. Idecided to pull out my crocheting project, white" lattice"work with pansies. Will let you see the finished project . . . in several years. :) One block at a time just as we take one day at a time. Actually, I'm hoping to have enough of it done to take it to the ladies tea at Camp Chippewa this summer. I've been working at it off and on now for a year or two.

I am impressed! You have five little ones, including a newborn, and you were able to find time to crochet! Good for you - and it looks beautiful, by the way.

Yeah, well, THERE IS ALWAYS PLENTLY TO BE DONE, but sometimes your just to tired to do it and so you sit in your chair and try to rest a bit, but it still feels good to be "doing" something right?
