When I went out for my walk this morning I thought, “This is the time of year when I really like to live here! From now until about October or November!.” The leaves are just coming out on the trees this week, the grass is green, the dandelions are blooming… (My kids caught wind that I want to spray weed-killer on the lawn which would kill the dandelions. They were not impressed! What should I do??)
Another sign of spring: picnics on the patio. We had two this week already. On Monday night my family was all here for supper since we had a special guest from PA – Rhonda Schantz. It was great to see her. I haven’t seen her for so long and of course, she’s all grown up now! Crazy!
On Tuesday night our cell group had a potluck here. We ate on the patio again. And I made some great iced tea. Thanks to some helpful hints from Dru it turned out pretty well. I don’t know how many people were here that night, but it was pretty crowded. Everyone came and some brought friends.
Keith and I decided to tackle a home renovation project. I think this is our biggest one so far. And we really have very little experience! We’re replacing the steps and railing of our front porch. Tonight we all had fun ripping it apart. Why is destroying things so much fun?? :-) I hope we haven’t bitten off more than we can chew. We knew that we need to re-finish the wood siding which is along the porch, but we thought we’d do it later. After ripping off the railing, etc. we both think we should do it now while the railing is off. The porch project might end up being a bit more long-term than we had thought!
And then there’s the garden! Our friends, Keith and Debbie have horses, so we went over there last night and got a truck-load of manure. Keith tilled it into the garden so it looks great and is ready to plant whenever I think it’s warm enough and get around to it. And, we still have those trees to plant…
That’s all for now. Happy Spring!!
