Been almost a month

  since I've posted. Tells quite a lot about our laid back life. Nothing going on but the rent as they say.
And it was a bad week for vehicles. haha We have several vehicles that we use on occasion but not regularly. "Back up" car and a truck for towing. Tim's PU was in the shop so he charged the battery in my truck and the poor little Escort. My truck wouldn't start the first day so he took the Escort, next day he took my truck. Day 3 he jumps in my truck, nothing, jumps in the Escort, nothing. He had to take my van. Some people wonder why we keep so many "junkers" around. Sometimes it takes that many just to get through a week! lol Too funny. And thanks to the good Lord we have those junkers. Good news is that Tim's truck is finished and we will pick it up this morning.

  Had some showers this week but nothing like they had predicted. Unfortunately the rest of the country east of here has gotten way too much rain. Our pasture needed the little bit we got. The horses needed a bath too.

  It's hard to believe but we need to actually start mowing this week! There is so much clean up to do in the yard. My flower beds look pathetically like weed patches and dust bowls for chickens. I don't mind the dust bowls from the chickens so much. They need their baths too. Keeps the bugs off of them. The problem is that one of the dogs comes behind the chickens and digs the holes much bigger! Oh well, the price you pay for the animal members of the family. More exercise for me!   List of blooming things: plum tree, nectarine tree, tulip tree, daffodils of assorted colors, lilacs are leafing out, quince is flowering, strawberries up and running, roses leafed out and several more. It's a little early and I'm afraid everything may get bit by frost. I will enjoy them as long as possible.

  Another post I found in the drafts folder. Can't remember to check it first! It's actually from March.
