Well, being true to what
I last wrote last about blogging more ( I can't believe I publicly admitted what my family and friends already know, that I am
weird with a crazy sense of humor and then posting pictures to prove it……Lord
help me) but I wanted to share some of the fun stuff going on at my farm-house today.
I always like it when
the weatherman is right, and the forecast was for sunny skies and mid- 50
temps. I mentally had my day
off planned out, but plans changed when I was needed to watch my 3 yoa grand-angel, Miss M. Our day consisted of a sticky kiss or two as we
made her favorite thing to bake – sugar cookies. Add the big messy cook (me) who is helped by the young assistant
- who is very exuberant with the sprinkles (although she can't say her
"s" so it comes out "prinkles") well the end result is about 3 dozen cookies and a kitchen that looks
like a scene out of the movie "Animal House" where they have a food
fight. When I have the 3 grand-angels over, they always know there are cookies to be
made and that being tidy isn't a big deal with their "goofy grandma"
(their words, not mine)J

After she went home, it
was late afternoon and warm, so I headed over to my mom’s house where I have my
tractor stored for the winter and drove it home. Being seriously mechanically challenged, I was
hoping I remembered all what I had learned the year before. And I am pleased to say that it was
satisfying that I did remember everything. I do admit as I was loading up some river rock that I had to do a couple
practice runs on running the bucket, but that all came back too. Whew! Here are some of my projects...

| Re-landscaping, less grass, more rock. It's a good thing. |

| This is my "inspiration pile" of stuff. Another dump truck load of river rock on the left, with a dump truck load of boulders in the middle and to the far right is a huge pile of dirt. |
Last summer I had ordered more river rock, boulders and already had a big pile of dirt behind my chick-pit shop. When my family asked me what I was going to do with it, I replied, I don't know, followed by my favorite phrase (that drives them nuts) "it's a detail" meaning that I don't quite know yet or that I have an exact plan, but I am sure I will come up with something and, well... I just don't worry about it, as it's just a detail and I'll just make up the rules as I go.
I know Spring really is on its way, not because of the first sight of a
Robin….but.... see what Luna, the farm-dog found out.
As always, thanks for taking time out of your busy day and stopping by to check in on the what the crazy farm-chick is doing. By the way I did check my email (I was a bit nervous) and did appreciate the emails & comments. So thank you! As always, feel free to email me or leave a comment. Hope your week is a good one. All my best, Gayle
