Spring!!!

Yeah!!! Spring is here! I got to mow the lawn for the first time yesterday (I am sure this will get old after a few times) and am debating whether to plant my annuals this week. We have been having some very nice warm, sunny days and it is soooooo nice to go outside with capris and flip-flops.

The kids have been busy in school and Leah and Julia are at Pony club meetings just about every week now. Andrew is having fun at gymnastics every Thurs. evening where he meets some friends at the local club for open gym night. Daniel is gearing up to mow the neighbor's lawn this summer and has rode his bike to school this week. Hannah is planning on going away for the long weekend with a friend's church youth group.

I am working on building a tack room in the barn. A friend came out last Sat. and showed me how to frame it. He helped me get started with the scrap lumber we have been hoarding in the barn. I am glad to organize some of our tack AND use up some of that lumber laying around.

Jim has been slower at work, but has spent a good amount of time taking parts off his "part" bike and putting them on his good bike. He did ride it on Sat. for the first time this season. He wants to get it in top shape for when the Baurer boys come up!
